Thread: Shared Dreams: See you on the Moon!

I decided to start a new journal thread dedicated to the shared dreams of Raven Knight and I. All these entries are simply posts to directly cut and pasted from our dream journals. If you are able to share dreams with us, and you post it in your DJ, I will cut and paste into this DJ if the entries are similar. (There is one of Man of Shred and I, but we were both non-lucid!)

I am only posting the similar entries.

Please only comments about the entries themselves. Any debates about the existence of shared lucid dreaming, please take elsewhere.

The purpose of this DJ is to showcase our shared dreams, and to encourage others to share dreams, by showing that it's possible. I want this to be available for everyone to learn. I don't want it to be a secret.

Of course, we could be making this whole thing up. But, what if we're not? What if shared dreaming is real?

I have not put Raven Knight's or my username in the title, because this DJ is for anyone that Raven or I share dreams with, as long as it's evidenced by two similar journal entries by two different people.

Settings:

The Moon Initially Raven Knight and I thought this would be a good place to meet, since there would be no other people there. For some reason, there are. After a missed attempt at trying to meet at Stonehenge (because I was unwittingly intercepted by Selene), we have been meeting on the moon ever since.

The Colloseum This is a training ground in what Raven Knight calls the Outer Lands, where people can battle without interference from others

The Void the void is a place of all white, no sound, no ground, no objects, no sky, nothing, in which I perceive myself as faintly flickering flame

Outer Space I have gotten into a few fights in the space between the moon and earth

The Temple of Nothing
The City of Nowhere
The Land of Nod
The Green Moon




Main entities:
Raven Knight - music based magic. Appearing as an assassin in white. Called a witch in dreams. She uses songs to create spells. Summoning lightning, launching fireballs. Healing spells also. Multiplying herself. Creating portals. Summoning horses. Summoning weapons. Teleportation. I am sure she has other tricks up her sleeve that I don't know of yet.
Weapons: variety of close combat weapons.
Armor: Witchblade Armor

Waking Nomad - Nature based magic. Morphing into Pan, god of nature, summoning beasts, morphing into mythical beasts, morphing into elementals. Element bending. Becoming giant. Appearing as a desert nomad in white. I am learning new skills from her all time such as teleportation and summoning weapons. I also have a secret magic taught to me by my dream guide.
Weapons: Variety of close combat weapons, also a white bow, and white arrows, energy gloves
Armor: Winged helmet to give holy protection, an energy belt which forms a force field, energy boots with which to walk on walls

Selene - also called a witch in dreams. Moon based magic. Her magic is silvery white moonlight. Extreme physical agility, speed, and leaping. Teleportation. She first appeared to me as a priestess of Artemis of the Ephesus.
Weapons: Meteor Hammer, daggers, throwing stars, short swords.
She is a lover of mine from past lives.

Spike - Like Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Of course, this is not who he really is, but how Raven perceives him based on her personal archetypes. He is some sort of daywalking vampire, but I don't know much about him as of this writing.

Basara

Pixy

Jo

Other entities:

Morpheus - the god of dreams, Raven saw him but didn't know who he was

Cerebus - the three-headed dog guarding the entrance to the underworld. Raven perceived him as Fluffy

People on the moon- Raven and I have both perceived other people walking around the moon, but haven't had much communication with them

Q- Q from Star Trek. This is how Raven perceives him. I have had two dreams of him as of the date below. The first dream I did not perceive him, the second one, I heard his voice only.

I will be updating this first entry as our powers in the dream world grow, and we meet new entities on the dream plane.

Update: September 28, 2009

Entities:

Man of Shred: A user on DV. verified by one recalled shared dream, in which we were both non-lucid.

The Ravens

Lonewolf

don Juan

Pixy

DJ Hope

DJ Mo'o

Stephanie

Sarnox

Tooth aka Gimpy: a disgusting "Nightstalker" who usually appears as a zombie. He makes it look like he is stealing your energy, as a secondary tactic in order to induce fear, and the illusion that he is stealing your energy (as far as I know)
Powers: shapeshifting, altering size, shooting tentacles out of his stomach, and being a generally disgusting thing in order to distract

tkdyos: Raven and I tried to make him lucid, but he was not dreaming at the time. After this experience I decided to hold off on trying to make people lucid.

Other people from the forums:
People that have tumbled out of a portal in a dream, I could not identify them.

The Cusp - his fighting style reminds me of myself. He is skilled at pulling focus
powers: shapeshifting, altering size

Mylynes - he was terrifyingly creepy, is skilled at inducing fear and a madness like confusion
powers: becoming strange shapes, eyes everywhere

one calling itself Shift-from-the-forums
I do not think it was her at all. It may have been one of these Nightstalker people. skilled at inducing pain
powers: aggressive physical attacks, morphing mouth into a snake's mouth

A little history

Raven and I had been on the forums just a few weeks. I PM'ed her after she made a post saying that she had done shared lucid dreaming, and did people think she was crazy. I told her I did not for I did it once myself, though the other person was not aware of me.

We decided to try shared lucid dreaming, and it worked the first time. I was amazed, and it made me wake up. I decided to not be amazed, and the dreams have gotten longer and longer.

I do not know what she looks like in waking life, so that's not necessary. I sent her a video of me playing the didgeridoo, but we had shared lucid's before that. We have not known each other before this, but we were siblings in a past life.

Most of our communication is in dreams. We actually talk more in our dreams than in PM's sometimes. We have only talked on the phone once.

The people you have shared lucids with will probably be people you knew in past lives. You might as well be open to the possibility, because you are going to be reminded of those past lives anyway.

I hope to get as many LD'ers as I can to learn shared lucid dreaming as fast as they can, so I can LD with you, so I guess I kind of write this for selfish reasons.

People Raven and I have shared dreams with:

Man of Shred, mrdeano, majinaki, beachgirl, Warrior Tiger, tkdyo, Walms, mowglycdb, Silverwolf, Robo, Morrigan, King Yoshi



Raven Knight's Dream Travels

Nomad Chronicles

Man of Shred's New Dreams

As of humbling experiences of late, I feel I must post some things I have recently learned. I realize that this is controversial. That is fine if you disagree, but please post that elsewhere.

Shared dreaming is real. I dream of Raven Knight. She dreams of me. The DreamWorld is real. It is not some virtual playground where morality doesn't exist, like a video game where you can choose to be evil. There is more I want to say, but if you are interested in the things I have learned, send me a PM. I may post more in the Deep Dreaming forum.

Sweet dreams, dreamers. I hope to see all of you on the moon.

UPDATE: October 5, 2009

On Making You Lucid:

Recently a few people have sent me PM asking me to make them lucid. Raven Knight and I tried this once. We were successful in locating the person, tkdyos, but he wasn't even dreaming when we got there. Here is that dream. We tried to wake up his dream body, but for him it was an FA. He didn't realize he was dreaming, and he didn't even remember the dream.

After this experience, I decided I was not going to spend my precious dream time trying to make people lucid. Imagine if you had a date, and you drove to her house to pick her up for your fun plans that night, only to find that she was asleep.

I wish I could make people lucid easily. I would fly all over the world doing it all night.

Please read my tutorial. Go through the steps. Learn to make yourself lucid. From now on, when I receive a request to make someone lucid, I will simply ask them to read the tutorial, for nowhere do I say in that to ask me to make you lucid.

I believe people dream share in non-lucid dreams all the time. I did with Man of Shred once as of this writing. Many of those people never become lucid, and never remember their dreams. It's much more difficult to recognize others in dreams when you are not lucid.

First you must learn to increase your dream recall and occurrences of lucidity. There are no shortcuts to shared lucid dreaming. You may learn quickly or slowly.

Raven Knight had many shared lucid dreams before we ever met.
I spent a year of my life doing nothing but working, reading books, and practicing astral projection.

I appreciate excitement, enthusiasm and open-mindedness you have toward shared lucid dreaming. (You must, or you would not be reading this.)

It is a skill that takes time, dedication, and effort. I apologize if in my enthusiasm, I made it seem like such a simple effortless thing. In a way it is, you must learn to do nothing.

In another sense, it must be the only thing you do. I have a very focused mind. Call me obsessed. That's fine. When I am interested in something, it's all I can think about for hours a day for weeks, months, or even years on end.

You may go through pain to achieve your goal. Speaking from my own experience, I had to go through humiliation, confusion, and loneliness, but that is another story. I hope you do not have to go through what I went through. But, I will warn you, the dreamworld is another dimension. It is real. It is not a virtual playground where no one gets hurt.

If you think you are ready, you are not. If you know you are not ready, you are humble enough to learn, not from me, but from your dream guide.

SHARED DREAM PODCAST!

UPDATE:

JANUARY 21, 2010

Dreamers (from this plane)
There are are a few main dreamers that I consistently dream with besides Raven Knight:

I am listing myself on here to list my Beast and Shadow Self:

Nomad:
Beast Self: Juargawn, were-jaguar or were-lion.
Shadow Self: Timelyst Knight, Lord of Knight an android in a symbiote suit

Raven Knight
Beast Self: were-jaguar
Shadow Self: Queen of Night, a witch all in black riding a winged black panther

Man of Shred aka MoSh MoSh and I have a lot of non-lucids together for some reason. I usually perceive us in Massachusetts where I used to live, at a couple houses I lived in there, or at bars I used to hang out at. Most of the dreams where I am drinking and smoking cigarettes, I am with him. I don't drink or smoke much now, though.
Beast Self: Roarga'an, a Naga, a great winged serpent
Shadow Self: Werewolf riding a cyborg dog-motorcycle.

Angel Angel is my girlfriend. She doesn't keep a dream journal online, but she remembers a lot of our shared dreams. She believed in shared dreams before I met her. The very first night we met I asked her if she wanted to share dreams, and she said yes. Angel is not her birth name, but, I call her that in dreams most of the time.
Beast Self: Phoenix
Shadow Self: Queen of Twilight, goddess of Dusk and Dawn, a witch wearing black and white riding a winged snow leopard.

Mowglycdb aka Pablo - Pablo often appears as a fox. Anytime you see a fox and a rabbit in one of Raven's dreams, I am the white rabbit.
Beast Self: Fox

Warrior Tiger aka Allison - She is Raven's friend from video game design school. She often appears as a werewolf.
Beast Self: Wolf

Silverwolf aka Jen - I miss this sweet lady. She's Allison's girlfriend. She often appears as a little witch in a cottage or as a werewolf. She mixes up a lot of great magical things to eat and drink.
Beast Self: Wolf

Dreamscape Descriptions:

The Tower
The Tower is a dark obsidian tower rising from the surface of the Moon sitting at the rear of the Biodome. Inside of it is a sick bay, and a control room run but a sentient AI. A telescope sits atop the Tower. The AI is in charge of all the Biodome defenses. There is a spraypainted sign in yellow at the base of the tower that says: Welcome to the Moon! There is a stage in below the sign.

The Biodome
The Biodome is surrounded by a wall of obsidian with Tesla coils spaced at intervals. The Tesla coils create a dome of electricity. At the gate there are two statue golems guarding it. There is a sign that says in multicolored LED's : "Welcome to the Biodome!", and "You are Dreaming!" simultaneously.
Inside the Biodome there are many plants and animals.

Koi Pond- There is a koi pond with a park bench and a large mirror with which Raven can contact me when I am in my Temple.

Living House- I have a house made of a banyan tree, an amazing type of tree with roots that grow down from branches and become trunks when they hit the ground. Inside is a living room, a bedroom, a meditation room, and a greenhouse full of cannabis plants. The meditation room has a small shrine with figurines of different guides of mine, and a mirror which I gaze into.

Temple of Gawn- I, Nomad, perceive this as a dark Gothic cathedral. Inside are pews, and a table with elements. There is a huge stone statue of Gawn, the Dream Warrior Master, holding a mirror.

Mountain- There is a great mountain inside the Biodome with many climates on its vary elevations.

Ocean- There is an ocean at the bottom of part of the mountain.

Hot Springs- There are volcanic hot springs for healing and relaxation.

Glen of Healing- There is a glen in a forest, for healing. When people like down on the soft grass, the grass pushes you up, and you feel like you are floating.

The Land of Nod
On the other side of the Moon, is the Land of Nod, a land covered by lush tropical jungle growing out toward the horizon. It is a wild and dangerous place.

The City of Nowhere- The City of Nowhere rests in the Land of Nod. A stone wall surrounds it, with Easter Island megaliths placed at intervals with lasers that shoot out of their eyes. Hawaiian warriors paddle in a canoe through the sky, and alert against intruders with a conch shell. There is a statue of the god of Nothing that guards the gate.

The Free Market- There is a Free Market where you can buy whatever you want, but, you have to pay with nothing.

The Temple of Nothing- The Temple of Nothing was originally created to be a Temple for me, Juargawn, the jaguar god, the god of Nothing, as a joke, and to show people that anyone can create permanent dreamscapes. It's a great ziggurat. Inside is a scrying bowl and a throne. There is a mirror which is linked to the one by the koi pond in the Biodome. I have since given my DC worshippers sentience, and handed control over to Guargawn, a sentient clone of my Juargawn self.

The Dream Temples- There is a night dream temple to fall asleep in in dreams, and a day dream temple to practice astral projection in dreams. They are both pyramids.

The Combat Pyramid- The combat pyramid is a place to practice combat where no one can get hurt.

The Blacksmith Shop- This is a shop where I create on magical armor and weapons.

The Dark Castle- The Dark Castle lies outside the City of Nowhere, on a mountain in the Land of Nod. It is where I reside as Soulkyst, the vampire.

Q10 Q10 is an asteroid where I have my steampunk shop where I work on electro-magical devices.

This thread is for anyone on DV who has shared dreams, not just Raven Knight and I.

That's about it.

For this dream I had a goal to go to the moon to meet someone in a shared dream. I took some melatonin (for vivid dreams) and decided to try a WILD by first meditating to soothing music with a light/sound machine. It would have worked better except for the fact the CD turned out to have scratches and I kept getting pulled out when it would stop playing! Here's what I did get:

I was lying in bed meditating and focusing on my goal of going to the moon. The images of flashing lights were colorful on my closed eyelids. I was able to see a round shape forming there and then it became the moon. A very colorful moon. As I slipped deeper into sleep the image of the moon became more normal. I slipped into a dream state, maintaining lucidity...

I was flying over the surface of the moon. I looked down at the many craters on the moon as I wondered where I could start looking for the person I wanted to find. The moon is a large place. I landed on the edge of a large crater and looked out across it. There was very little gravity so I just lept across the crater when I saw there was no one there. I was just about to land on the other side of the crater when I was jarred back to reality by a skipping CD... I lost both lucidity and then the dream.

I smacked the CD player to make it stop skipping and changed tracks to one that would play. Maybe I should've gotten a different CD, but I wanted to get back to the dream state as quickly as I could... So I repeated the process from above and got similar results so soon I was back in the dream state and fully lucid...

I was once again flying over the moon. I could see the Earth in the sky. A glowing blue marble against the blackness of space. I was staring at the planet and thinking how few people from Earth ever get to see that. I was watching the patterns in the clouds and thinking they were beautiful. My lucidity slipped to semi-lucidity...

I was no longer thinking about dreaming, but I still knew I was looking for someone. I could no longer think who I was looking for, but I felt I would know when I found them. I flew low over the surface of the moon. I was thinking they had been wrong when they said there was no atmosphere on the moon. I was there and breathing fine. I thought maybe they had never been to the moon at all if they hadn't noticed the atmosphere... I saw some etherial forms on the moon. Some kind of spirits... That didn't seem right. People on the moon? I approached one of them. I wondered if I might have found who I was looking for. I reached out for that person... and then was jarred awake again by my stupid CD player skipping!

I was getting pissed at my CD player now... I smacked it a couple more times to try to get it to work. I changed the track again. I was still too lazy to change the CD. I found another track that would play and repeated my effort at a WILD. But this time I lost focus on the moon...

I was in a forest now. The trees were bright green. It was a very peaceful place. I was thinking I was looking for someone, but they would not be here. I was thinking I had better go before that someone left. I wanted to get to the moon. I couldn't see the moon from where I was. I needed to focus on the moon. I flew off of the ground to head for the moon, but I was quickly awakened by my CD player dying yet again...

This time I was very tired and I shut my CD player off and went to sleep normally. I was thinking about the moon when I fell asleep, but I did not return there...

"I am Pan. I have the head and legs of a goat, the horns of a ram, and the torso of a man. I am the god of the forest and nature. I flew through space, and landed on the moon. There were ghost images floating all over the moon. "Holy shit, there are a lot of people here," I thought.

I saw someone I was looking for. I was me again. She looked like color of rose quartz, and I was a pale green spirit. She grabbed my hands, and said, "I found you." The dream began to fade to black.

I said, "I am in space." I looked around at the stars. I kept looking at them. I said, "Increase clarity," which made it worse. I relaxed and just looked around. After a few minutes, I could see again,and I made it back to the moon. I called someone's name. I couldn't find her. I decided to just have fun on the moon. I bounded around the moon.

I felt a sentient sadness under my hooves. I stopped. I felt creatures talking to me in pictures, under the ground. I floated down into the grey soil. The creatures showed me how they used to be. Suddenly I was one of them, a strange multi-colored worm, with a giant grin on my worm face, with many large flat teeth. I was sliding through cracks in the rocks with ease and speed. As the beats went, the colors of my body pulsed with rainbow glows. I went back into me, and the creatures showed me that they all died eaons ago, as they all tried to make it to the surface. Somehow they lost what little water they had. Now there are some dormant organisms at the center of the moon, waiting for water.

A tower sprung up out of the moon. A huge man-made communcation tower the size of skyscraper. The creatures began growing on it until it was completely covered. Now they looked like algae. The creatures told me they were protecting the tower, and their bodies were altering the waves going out of the tower adding a biological harmonic to it. I grabbed the ladder rungs on the tower, and climbed it. I spun around, and looked at the earth.

I jumped off the tower, and flew down to earth, arms at my sides. I became transparent. Streaks came off of me. I landed on earth in a forest, and shockwaves came out from my hooves, blowing leaves off the trees. The leaves suddenly froze in the air, as I squatted. As I leapt into outer space, I spun around, and pointed my hands at the earth. The leaves swirled around and landed on the trees.

I landed back on the moon, and jumped back and forth between the earth and moon in a few seconds in each leap. I jumped off the moon, and flew back to the earth again. I landed in a forest."

We did it!

I watched the colorful lights on the inside of my eyelids and focused on making the images resolve into the moon. The image took form as I fell asleep and I soon slipped into a lucid dream…

I was on the moon. I looked around at the vast wasteland. I could see the stars shining overhead. I was thinking I should be looking for someone so I started walking around on the moon. I could tell there was hardly any gravity. Due to that I was able to cross the surface of the moon in leaps and bounds. I was practically flying, and then I was flying. I stayed low over the surface of the moon so I would be able to see the person I was looking for when I found him. I was starting to think I was not going to find him when I saw something ahead. There were several buildings. Buildings on the moon? I flew towards the buildings. I landed in the middle of what appeared to be a small village off of an RPG. There were a few people wandering around. They didn't seem to notice my arrival. I thought that was strange.

Now I started exploring the small village. I wondered if these people realized they were on the moon. I saw one person that seemed to stand out against the crowd. I approached that man. I didn't recognize him, but there was something different about his energy. I was thinking I had found the person I was looking for. I said there was something I wanted to give him. I said it was some healing energy. I proceeded to focus on a song called Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. This is a song I sometimes use for physical healing. The song played in the background as I was focusing healing energy on his neck, which was where I felt guided to apply it. I saw there was a table there in front of me so I asked the man to lie down on it. I gave him a massage, focusing healing energy around his neck. The song played through and I could see the energy flowing into his body. When the song was over I asked him how he was feeling. He said he felt very relaxed. I said he could see how well it worked when he woke up. I felt like I was going to wake up. I told him I didn't know if I could keep the dream going. I told him I didn't really want to wake up but I had the idea I was about to… I woke.

I land on the moon. I feel the dust under my feet. I reach down and touch it. It feels fine and powdery like corn starch. I think I see the person I am supposed to meet in the distance. She is standing behind a massage table. She is glowing translucent different colors, sometimes pink, sometimes green, like translucent crystals. "C'mere," she says, and pats the massage table. I lie down on the massage table, and zoom out to 3rd person view. She begins singing. No, music is coming out of her. It sounds simultaneously organic and angelic. She begins massaging my neck.
I go back into 1st person. The massage table is a aquamarine color. It feels real against my skin. I feel energy going into my neck and back.
I zoom out to 3rd person view again. I see her hands going into my dream body. There is another person, an angel, that is doing the same thing at the same time in the same place. She has merged with the angel in the sense that they are occupying the same space and doing the same thing, but they are seperate beings still. The angel's energy is white and gold, with some blue.
I feel peaceful, and am entranced by the music, which I feel more than I hear.
Something happened after that, but I can't remember.

I got into a mean car accident yesterday, and got severe whiplash. The pain was intense. (8 or 9 on a scale of 1 to 10). The nurse told me I would hurt a lot worse today. I didn't take any last night or this morning. Today my pain is only about a 1 or 2!

We did it!

note to self: if I ever get a controlled lucid go to the moon and look for a pale green spirit and a ruby redish one

I don't think you really need to know what our spirits look like or dream bodies look like in order to recognize us. In my experience recognition comes in the form of an energy signature.

Kind of like how you know who just walked in your house simply because the way they closed the door, or when a friend walks in the room, you know who it is without seeing them.

The best way I think is to simply WILD to the moon, and look for each other. Reading each other DJ's will help us get to know each other and make recognition easier. I have transformed into Pan in shared dreams, but I don't think Raven ever saw me in that form.

The more we have shared dreams, the easier it is to find each other, kind of like when you have a close friend, and you hear your phone ring, you know it's them before you look at the caller ID.

I laid down in bed to meditate with my light/sound machine and induce a WILD. I was intending to meet someone on the moon so I focused on going there. As I slipped into sleep I slipped into a dream where I found myself on the moon and fully lucid…

I was standing on the moon. I was supposed to meet someone. I started looking around the area. I needed to find N. I looked for a bit and then I soon saw someone. I approached him and somehow I knew it was N even though I didn't recognize him. I asked him if he was ready to go. He said he didn't know how it would work. I told him I have done it loads of times so nothing would go wrong. He asked what if he lost me. I said I just wouldn't let that happen. So let's go. I focused on opening a portal. Since I wasn't sure exactly what world would be an appropriate place to take N I focused on letting my instinct guide me to a good spot. I used Through the Never by Metallica and a portal opened…

Note: When I got more into the action of the dream my lucidity slipped into semi-lucidity…

On the other side of the portal we were in a forested area. The forest was green and pretty, but it was anything but peaceful. There was a fight going on all around us. I noticed all of the weapons were from a medieval time period such as swords, bow and arrow, etc. The enemies were dressed like Templars. I noticed that N and I were both wearing white robes and we looked a lot like assassins from Assassin's Creed. I looked at N a bit closer. I noticed that while he was dressed to look like an assassin he didn't look like Altaïr. The fight was approaching our location fast. I quickly asked N if he could handle a sword. He didn't answer but I saw him nod. I focused on summoning a sword and one appeared in my hands. I tossed it to N and then summoned a second sword for myself. We then engaged in battle. I knew exactly how to handle my sword, and N also seemed to know what he was doing. Our swords seemed to be charged with energy as we cut through enemy after enemy. They seemed like low level grunts. Not very skilled, just a lot of them. I ducked out of the way of an enemy's sword thrust and ran my sword through his chest. At just the same time N spun around and removed an enemy's head.

N and I were now standing back to back, still surrounded by a number of enemies. I heard N say he didn't know if he could hold onto the dream. I told him to just focus on staying here, and try to stay calm. That seemed like a dumb thing to say considering we were in the middle of a battle… I didn't hear N respond to that but a short time later I sensed he had disappeared. I turned to look and N was gone. Shit! Where had he gone off to? I was thinking he had most likely returned home, but I wanted to know for sure. There weren't too many enemies left, so I focused on Battery by Metallica to summon lightning. Bolts of lightning hit the enemies closing in around me. I focused on Through the Never by Metallica to open a portal. I focused on finding N. A portal opened. I went through the gateway to find myself in a dark room. I could vaguely make out a bed… I was having trouble seeing anything. I tried to clear my vision but it wasn't working. I couldn't even be sure I was looking at a bed. But I could sense that N was nearby. Maybe he was in the bed… I was feeling really disoriented. I finally felt the dream slip away and I woke.

This leaves me wondering if I might have attempted astral projection without meaning to... like if N had completely left the dream state and my portal tried to find his physical self... I have never done it before which would explain the poor results...

I drank some water, and went back to bed. I focused this time on being on the moon. I visualized being on the moon.
I reached down and touched the surface of the moon, and felt the powdery dust which was beginning to feel familiar at this point. There were a bunch of people walking around, more like floating, actually. The people were different colored spirits. Imagine colorful ghosts. I ignored them and focused on the one person I came to the moon to meet. Aha! She was right in front of me, about 20 yards away. Suddenly, we were right in front of each other. I got the feeling we were smiling at each other. The feeling was stronger than any other visual sensation. She looked like a person made of energy, but was distinctly human.
"Do you want to go?" she grinned, and began doing magical movements with her hands.
"I am afraid it won't work. I am afraid I don't believe." I felt like she was laughing at me to herself inside. I felt her thinking, "I have done this hundreds of times. Are you kidding me?"
A rift appeared in time and space. She ripped a hole in the fabric of the time/space dimension. There was a deep blackness to to it, an intense, deep, inviting blackness.
"What if I lose you?" I said without sound coming out of my mouth. She smirked and grabbed my hand. We stepped through the rift. There was a split second sensation of tumbling through a tunnel, then another split second of falling. It was like we went through a wormhole, that opened into the sky of the next place, and we fell through the sky right into:
a forest. The trees were great tall pines, and the forest floor was covered with small bushes, about two or three feet high. The moment we got there, we were instantly in a battle, like video games where you can save the game an any specific moment you want without a save point, and then load right back in where you left off.
We both had two slightly curved one-handed swords. There were dozens of attackers. We were wearing flowing white robes, and light leather boots, like desert nomads. Our attackers had various weapons like two-handed swords, a sword and shield, a bow and arrow, and flexible weapons like morning stars, and variations of the chain and spiked ball weapons.
We dodged, parried, and thrusted our enemies through flawlessly. It was exhilarating. We knew ever counter for every weapon. As we spun, leapt, rolled, and attacked, our swords sung, and golden trails followed our swords in the air. Our enemies were hopeless. I got so excited, I was afraid I was going to wake up. There was a short pause in the battle, and my friend and I were back-to-back, ready to re-enter the fray.
My chest was heaving. "I don't know how much longer I can maintain clarity!" I shouted to her.
"Just focus!" she shouted as she charged into battle. I thought, "Oh my god, this dream kicks ass!!!" I was so overwhelmed by the sheer joy, the dream faded. I don't remember if I woke, or it went into something else.

I fell asleep with my meditation light/sound device on and focused on getting to the moon… I am getting pretty used to doing this, and it worked quickly. It probably also helped that I was tired and fell asleep quickly. My lucid dream begins here…

I was on the surface of the moon. I looked around me. I was looking for N. I didn't see anyone right away, but I had a strong feeling of which way I should go. I thought someone over there was also looking for me. Calling to me. So I followed my instinct and headed off to my right. I saw some people in the distance. One specific one caught my attention. That one was N. I can't say how I knew that, but I did. Maybe I am coming to recognize his energy in the dream state… Everyone has their own unique energy. N was with someone else. I actually felt a bit embarrassed because it looked like he was getting hot and heavy with her. I knew we were planning on meeting, but I didn't want to interrupt a good bit of dream sex… I thought maybe I should go somewhere else and come back later. I then saw N push the woman away. She didn't go very far but he soon disappeared. Left the dream? Went somewhere else? I didn't know for sure. The woman disappeared shortly after he did.

I was thinking I would try to open a portal to find N. If he was still in the dream state I should be able to find him. I didn't have to. I looked around and he was back. He was right in front of me now. I smiled at him and asked him who his friend had been. His friend appeared next to us and gave me a dirty look. Or at least I think it was supposed to be a dirty look. I didn't find it impressive. I found myself thinking of the glare Vegeta on Dragonball Z gives out when he is pissed and I was thinking she would seriously lose a glaring contest with Vegeta.

Note: IMO, Vegeta is the coolest character on DBZ! I have actually seen Vegeta in my dreams and been glared at by Vegeta so other dirty looks and glares seem to pale in comparison with Vegeta's. I might enter a Vegeta dream if I get the chance…

The woman didn't stay around long. She disappeared. I was about to say something to N about going to another world when she appeared again. She was right behind N and laughing mischievously. I wondered what she was up to. I asked her who she was. She shot me another dirty look and vanished only to appear right beside me. She told me to go away. I told her not to piss me off. She feigned a look of fear briefly before laughing and disappearing. I thought maybe I should open a portal before she came back. I focused on Through the Never by Metallica and on opening a portal. I managed to open one, but not before the woman reappeared. She looked through my portal and then back at me. She said that would not do at all. I repeated to her that she does not want to piss me off. She told me not to piss her off. I didn't consider her a threat. I knew she was not a threat. I grabbed N's hand and pulled him through the portal.

On the other side of the portal N and I were in a forest. We were surrounded by what looked like dead Templars. I wondered what had happened here. It looked a bit familiar but I couldn't quite place it. I thought I remembered killing a bunch of Templars… or maybe I was just remembering when I was playing Assassin's Creed… I was still thinking about that when the dream slipped away and I woke.

I was on the moon. I was getting distracted by all the people. I was looking for one person. Suddenly there were no people. A beautiful woman appeared in front of me. She was wearing a white hooded robe, and had long dark hair. Was it her? We started making out. I felt her body press against mine. I felt her spirit under the outer image of the robe. I felt angry for some reason, and shouted, "No!" in my mind. Then, she disappeared, but reappeared behind me.
She laughed hollowly. She kept teleporting and laughing mockingly. "Selene!" I shouted. She was posing as my friend. I felt embarrassed that Selene had so easily deceived me.
I looked for my friend. I saw her standing in front of me. Selene kept flitting in and out of sight and sound with her laughter. I was getting distracted by Selene and couldn't focus. My friend was looking at me confused. I felt like I couldn't explain who Selene is.
I don't remember what happened next. Either I woke up, the dream faded, or I forgot.


Fragment

My friend and I were in the same forest as before, standing amongst our dead enemies, swords drawn, looking around.

Yes!!!

On a side note, the woman with the orb in the meadow was Selene, I just realized.

To better see the parallels, I am going to line up the DJ's paragraph by paragraph. Raven Knight's entries will be in red,, mine will be in green. There are parts that I am leaving out, because we weren't together, so check out our individual journals to see dreams in the entirety. Sometimes our dreams diverge and we come back together.

Battle against Tooth (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

As I fell asleep I focused on the moon.

The Revolting Mr. Tooth
For some reason, I was not on the moon, I was flying there. I sensed danger. I turned into a giant minotaur. This strange person appeared in front of me. He looked kind of like a shriveled corpse. His skin was purple and smooth, his eye was missing, and the other was hanging out of its socket, flopping on the cheek, socket, his left ear was torn and sagging, and was hanging off of his head. His lipless mouth was open and drooling, and had about three teeth left in it. His nails were greenish, thick, and ridged. His right leg was lame, and he was limping at me, making slurping noises. His right arm was huge, and dragging on a ground that didn't exist.

I looked at his right hand. It was so fucking huge that it didn't make sense. He smiled when I stared at his hand. He reached at my throat, and grabbed me, but as he grabbed, his hand got bigger, and he grabbed me around my entire body.

His disgusting mouth came at me as I struggled. I increased in size, but he did the same, so relatively our size did not change. "Damn you!" I thought. I teleported away.
I started flying back to the moon. These slimy purplish-pink balls were stuck to my body, draining me. I knew they were some kind of astral parasite. "What the fuck are these things?" I thought. Whatever they were, they were keeping me from teleporting to the moon. I spun quickly and some fell off. I stopped and began pulling the parasites off me. Then I saw the gimpy guy.
He was limping at me again. "Who the hell are you?" I said.
"Tooth!" he said, but it was more like, "toos!" It was the most disgusting word I have ever heard, just because how he was slobbering when he said it, it made me feel naseous. "What the fuck? What kind of fucking DC are you?" (Yes, I did say DC, and not dream character.)

He laughed a disgusting slurpy laugh. "You fucking idiot, I am real person!"
"Hey, fuck you, dream character," I said. "I am going to ignore to fucking oblivion."
I turned around, ignoring him, and focused on the moon.
"You fucking moron. I am a real person. Ignoring doesn't work with real people." On real people he roared like a thousand demons going into battle. I zoomed out to third person. I saw a giant purple mouth stretched out from a giant purple rotting head, with three disgusting yellow teeth."
"Go, ahead and bite me, bitch," Minotaur-me said, and I stopped flying. I was back in first person. I was covered in pointy teeth, but the teeth were pointing at me. There was a jet black cloud around the teeth. The teeth were hovering about two or three inches above my skin.I
They shook and giggled. It sounded kind of cute. "What the fuck? Why the hell do these little fuckers sound cute?" With a chomping sound, all the teeth poked me at the same time." It hurt like a bitch.
"Fuck you!" I said. "This pain isn't real." I struggled to break free of the teeth and black cloud that were covering me.

"What the fuck are you?"
The tooth cloud flew off me, and became the man form again. He lifted his right hand. Glowing green orbs began floating about. "I'm a Nightstalker, bitch," he said.
"Hey, fuck you, man. Fuck your Nightstalker bullshit."
"Hey, fuck you, back. You are such a fucking moron. You are such a little bitch! Ha-a! Ha-a! Ha-a!" At, "fucking moron, blah blah blah," he said everything in slow motion. I reacted in slow motion, and that meant he had slowed time down, because I received his suggestion, like a fucking moron.
"Fuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuuu, maaaaaaaaaaan!" I said in slow motion as he reached for me, but his giant arm was moving faster and faster, now it was normal speed. I realized he hadn't slowed time, and I felt like such an idiot. I started flying away at normal speed, and his arm moved faster.
"Hey, fuck you man!" I said really fast, spun, formed a purple vortex portal in front of me, and went through.


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

On the Moon with ... People from the Forum?
(The above fight I had forgetten until I got to the part in grey below.)"There you are!" said Raven Knight. "I've been looking for you." I had the strange feeling that I tumbled out of a portal. I was sitting on the ground. I turned to a purple vortex purple, that I must have created. People started tumbling out.

"Oh! Who are these people?" She said.

About four or five people tumbled out. "Oh! These are people from the for-nyah!" A hand reached out of the portal, and yanked me back in. "Damn! I should have closed that thing! Shit! Shit! Shit!"

I was in outer space. (At this point I remembered the first fight.)
Tooth Battle #2: Yanked back into space

I was with Tooth again. "Hey, what the fuck! You can't do that to me!" I said.
"I told you I'm r-r-eal!" On real he made this disgusting growly sound. He grinded his teeth as he said the "r" sound, and for some reason, he had about 50 gross yellow crooked flat teeth on top an bottom.
"You can't ignore me away, dumbass. You are getting fucking haunted, bitch!" On haunted he sounded like a dying man gasping for air, and the roar of a zombie at the same time. It was creepy as fuck.
"Fuck, your real person Nightstalker bullshit. I don't believe in you. You're just a fucking dream character."
He threw his head back and laughed. Bones broke out of papery skin on his torso, and his skin turned a dark grey around the stomach. It was revolting.
"You are fucking disgusting," I said.
"That's the point, dumbass," said Tooth.
I had know it along, but every time, I began to be aware of his tactics, he would do it again, but in a different way. He was using being disgusting as a way to pull focus toward him, to give him power. Just like he made it "stop time" by talking in slow motion, after he pulled my focus. I was still focused on him, so I reacted in slow motion, even though he didn't actually stop time.

"Goddamn! This person is smart," I said in my head. "Maybe he is a real person."

"Your tutorial, sucks, by the way," and he sounded like a teenage Halo 3 fanboy shithead. It annoyed me.
"Look at you," he said seriously, as he turned to face me. "You're weak!" he said, and sounded like an army of demonic cyborgs roaring into battle, as he put his hands by his sides, and opened his huge mouth at me. "Not again!" I thought.
"Go ahead and bite me, bitch, you're not real."
He laughed, and made a chomping sound as he bit down on me. I was surrounded by a warm wet slurpy darkness. He laughed again. Then, I was in the tooth-cloud again.
"Pain isn't real on the dream plane, shithead," I said. "Go ahead, fucker!" He poked all his teeth into me, but it didn't hurt. I laughed. It kind of tickled. Then, the tooth cloud was stuck to me. I couldn't move. I struggled to break free.
"Hey fuck this shit!" I said, and I spun forward, releasing his grip. "C'mere," he said, and sounded like a retarded flaming homosexual.
"What the fuck?" I laughed. I created a portal in front of me, and flew toward it. I still had those little pink slimy glowing parasite balls stuck to me. "Hey, you little fuckers," I said as spun again. Some were still stuck to me. "Get the fuck off me!" I said, as I pulled them off. I flew into the portal, and it closed behind me.


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

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

In which I see The Cusp, and Man of Shred
I tumbled back on to the moon, and the portal went, boop! and closed. I was the a Minotaur still. I felt dizzy. I had to sit. "Nomad," said Raven, walking over to me. She put her hand on my shoulder, and knelt down next to me, looking concerned. I turned into a Bedouin wearing all white. "Fuck!" I said in a daze. "I think I just got in a fight with a real person."
"Really?" she said. "That is some crazy shit. You okay?"
"Yeah," I said, slowly standing. I felt the need to brush myself off. I was covered in slimy ectoplasm. "Yuck!"
"Oh shit!" said Raven. "That is nasty. Here."
She held out a white staff with a white crystal at the top which then glowed orange, looking like molten iron. She began singing, and the stone vibrated. Orange glowing magic flew out of it for a second, then I was engulfed in flame for a couple seconds.
The slime was burned off.
"There!" she said.
"Wow," thank you, "I said."
"So, are you sure you're okay?" she said.
"Yeah, I was disoriented, but it's all in the head, right?" For some reason, I was a minotaur again, and when I said that I went cross-eyed, stuck out my tongue, and hit myself in the head, and moved my head around like I was dizzy. Two little yellow birds flew around my head for a second, and there was a cuckoo sound.
"Yeah," she laughed.
Then, she began creating a portal. She stopped. "Oh, wait, who are all these people?"

"I think they are people from the forum!" I said.
There were some people standing near the portal wandering around. "Hey, can you guys stand in a line. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I am just trying to see you." The first person, was a man, who looked like purple and white crystal. I felt like he was familiar, but I couldn't remember. The words "The Cusp" appeared above his head in fat white letters, and waved like a flag in the wind.
"Right! You are The Cusp!" He seemed pleased. The next person, was looking around confused. "Where the fuck am I? What the fuck is going on? This is fucking insane. What the fuck? Am I in school? Fuck! I hate school dreams," he mumbled. He was green and white. "Hey, you are Man of Shred."
"Huh?" he said, and looked up at me. There were three or four other people, a blue person, yellow, green, and pink.
"Hey can you guys- You know what? I can't recognize these people!" I said to Raven.
"Okay," she laughed, and walked past me, patting my shoulder. "I am going to create a portal." As she did it, she looked at me and said, "We are going to try and make your friend lucid, yes?"
"Right, I said." T-k-d-o," I said forgetting the y. A black tear in the fabric of time and space appeared in front of her.
"Hey," I said, "Can I make the portal? I need practice."
"Sure," she laughed, and her portal sealed itself up.
I had a feeling that we should've used her portal, but I really want to practice.
I started doing throat singing sounds, like, womp! womp! womp! and I created a purple vortex portal. Raven went in. I waved at the others on The Moon. "Hey, you guys are welcome to come. We are going to try and make this guy lucid!" The Cusp just stood there, smiling benignly at me with his hands folded in front of him. Man of Shred was still looking around confused, now at the ground. "Where are my glasses?" he said, and touched his face. "No, contacts. No, wait a minute! I don't need contacts. This is a dream. Grrr." He actually said grr. I thought it was kind of funny, but I also felt a little sorry for him.

The other people were talking to each other, oblivious. This annoyed me. "Portal! Lucid! We're going!" I called. "Aw, fuck it!" I said, and went in.


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

'Dammit! He's Not even Dreaming!"

I was in someone's bedroom with Raven. There was a sliding glass door with a green curtain on my right that opened up to a covered patio. There was a dresser behind me, and some posters on the wall of bands, and a black and florouscent psychedelic poster. This guy's room was kind of messy, but it wasn't trashed. There was something that was glowing yellow sitting on a little square end table in the middle of the room. I realized it was weed.

"Ok," I said, cracking my knuckles, "let's wake this fucker up."

"Are you sure it's TKD-whatever?" she said.

"Well, there's only one way to find out."

"Wait, Nomad, think. We're supposed to make him lucid. That means if we're here..."

"Oh, shit, this fucker isn't even dreaming! Dammit!"

"You're right. Do you think we can induce a dream?"

"I don't know, let's try and pull his astral body or dream body, whatever you call it, out of him."

"I don't think that's right," she said. "It might freak him out. Let's just try and wake his dream body up."

For some reason, she looked like an assassin, and I looked like my green crystal energy self.

I put my hand on his shoulder, and shook it. "Hey wake up." His dream body moved, but not his real body. I was pleased with this.
He didn't wake. Raven shook his other shoulder. "Hey, wake up, wake up, dude!" I said. The man's (boy's?) dream body woke up, and sat up on the edge of the bed.
"What? Who are you guys?"
I began creating a portal.
"You're lucid, dude!"
"What?" he said. "I'm not lucid. Is this a dream? Why am I in my bedroom?" Raven bent down and looked him in the face, "You are dreaming!" She smiled at him. "Right, you are dreaming," I laughed.
"Oh. What? Really? Hmm. I have to go to the bathroom."
"No you don't! You're dreaming." Let's go through this portal. I was getting anxious to go through. I had a bad feeling of foreboding.

Just then, a cartoon arm popped out of the portal and grabbed me, pulling me through. "Fuuck youuu!" I yelled as Tooth pulled Minotaur me by my shoulder through whirling purple and we looked like cartoons as he limped along.

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


Battle #3: In Which I become a kickass Lava Minotaur

We were in outer space. He was floating in front of me, slowing moving up and down, in some cheezy Dragon Ball Z pose. An orange glow formed around his right hand. He suddenly turned into Goku.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I laughed. He started charging up, and I yawned. "Kamehameha!" he shouted, and shot a huge beam of energy at me. I dodged it easily, yawning again. "Oh, what? You mean the first king of Hawaii?" I taunted, laughing again.
"Damn you, you little shit!" and he turned back into zombie-Tooth. "I am going to eat your fuckiing soul!" he roared, and did his bite attack. I teleported away, and laughed.
"How many goddamned times are you going to do that?"
He started losing his cool.
I snorted at him, and slowly grew in size. My minotaur eyes, glowed red, and smoke came from my nostrils. I inhaled, and my skin turned black like lava rock. Little cracks formed over my body and opened, revealing hot lava underneath. A stone whip appeared in my left hand, and a stone shield in my right.
We were standing on a lava field. It was slowly flowing. There were pillars of rock about the landscape. I tightened my grip on my whip, and walked toward Tooth, while looking at myself in from 3rd person. I looked pretty badass.
Huge boulders began to lift off of the ground in my telepathic anger. I growled at him, and rolled my left wrist. "How long are you going to follow me around, you little shit?"
Tooth started to get lost in my menacing red eyes, then he looked away, glancing around the landscape. He was upset that he was in my world now. I rolled my wrist again, and stomped toward him, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
He looked at my wrist as it cracked loudly. I moved it very slowly. He looked down at the whip. It came to life and turned into a snake, and hissed at him.
"Hey fuck, all this shit!" he said, and snapped out of it.
He roared and leaned back, and green slimy tapeworms shot out of his torso, their ends anchored in his innards. It was the most disgusting fucking thing I have ever seen. I knelt down, as the tapeworms came at me, and I increased the size of my shield. The tapeworms glanced off my shield, and I grunted with the impact. The snake hissed at the tapeworms. The tapeworms went limp, and Tooth retracted them into his body.

"You are fucking disgusting! You know that?"

My world disappeared, and we were back in space again. I was an ordinary minotaur, and he was ordinary Tooth, whatever the hell that means.
He screamed at me, and lunged in anger. I redirected his energy, and did a judo throw up and over me, tossing him on his back. He turned in Hercules, and lunged at me again, grabbing me. We wrestled in outer space, tossing each other, landing, then charging at each other again. Every time we made contact, he kept patting me lightly all over my body as much as he could. It creeped me out.
Next time he tossed me, I turned into a great black bull. I slowly grew in size, and my eyes turned red. I pawed at the "ground." A colloseum formed behind me, and my horns slowly grew in size. There was a crowd chanting, "The bull! The bull! The bull!" I zoomed out into third person.
For a second, I saw The Tooth as a green energy form. "Let's wrestle again so I can touch you!" he said.

"No, you creep!" I rumbled and pawed the ground. I charged at him, roaring, and he changed into a giant pointed carnivore tooth, pointed at me face. I slowly moved, and he reacted slowly. I laughed inside, but kept the game up. I expanded, and changed into black goo, then I surrounded him, and changed into a giant vacuum sealed glass jar.

He knocked around inside me. "Hey let me out of here, you asshole!" he whined. Then he started whimpering like a child. "I'm just a kid. My dad hits us." He started crying. I got the image in my mind of a sad little purple zombie boy crying in a dark corner, a dark shadow looming. It was fucking disturbing.
"Why are you such an asshole? I'm just a kid." I felt really sorry for him.
"Was he just a kid?"
"I am still stealing his fucking energy," said a little voice quietly, pleased with himself. The glass around the tooth was glowing pink, and little glowing orbs were moving up into him. "I'm touching you, dumbass!"

I roared in anger and became a minotaur again.

He went into his many tooth and cloud form again, and I reached up, and said, "King of Dragons, come to me!"

A huge purple vortex portal appeared above me and a blue dragon tail dangled above my head. I grabbed it. The tail yanked me through, and the portal sealed up.

"Dammit!" Tooth mumbled to himself.

In which I meet The Great Dragon

I was on a grassy mountain hillside with a great light blue dragon. It sparkled beautifully. It was huge. It was surrounding me with its body, lying down. I ran over and hugged it around the neck like a small child hugs a big dog.
It smiled and looked at me. It seemed feminine. Then, it changed to purple, and back to blue again.

I climbed on he back, and she took off. Her wings were translucent. She changed color to pink, to lavendar, to green, to blue, and back to lavendar again as we flew.

We landed on a cliffside. There was a nest of baby dragons. She was standing on he rear legs like a bird, because there was little room on the ledge of the aiyre. She plucked me off of her back with her mouth, and set me on the edge of the nest.

The baby dragons walked slowly around in circles. The momma dragon flew away, and came back with large strips of raw meat in her mouth. The baby dragons opened their mouths like baby birds, and she dropped a strip of meat in each one's mouth. I thought it was cute and kind of gross.

"Who are these?" I asked the momma dragon.

"My children," of course, she said smiling at me.

Suddenly I was on a great chessboard in the middle of a well manicured English garden. A giant king that looked like the little fat guy from Alice in Wonderland slowly ambled toward me, threateningly, a stupid look on his face. I ignored him.

"My children will aid you," said the momma dragon at the edge of the chessboard in front of me. On my right shoulder sat a tiny golden Eastern dragon, about three feet long. (The mom was a Euopean looking dragon.) He shot a jet of flame out of his little mouth. He clapped his front claws together, and lightning appeared on his paws. He stood on my shoulder, the lightning crackled on his claws.

The dragon on my left was a sky blue color, and looked like a cross between both types of dragons. He turned invisble, no he turned into liquid water. He turned blue again.

I turned and faced the king. The golden dragon flew slithering through the air, and blew fire in the king's face, who I now realized was an automaton. The king's face was charred, but his stupid doll face had a permanent grin on it. He waved his hands at his face.

The water dragon flew at the king, and then landed on the ground turning into water. He hopped to the king like a slinky, then turned into a puddle. The king slipped and fell. The golden dragon flew down and landed in the puddle. Lightning came out of his claws, through the puddle, and shocked the king. He stopped moving, and I heard his gears wind down.

"Very good!" said the momma dragon. "You already know how to command your pets! Their elements will balance out your weaknesses. As you progress in your dream journeys, your worlds will get increasingly bizarre. Do not be amazed, do not be alarmed. Remain calm, and learn to focus your mind." I nodded.
"Be good, children!" she said, and flew away.

"So, now you know," said myself from the other dimension appearing in front of me. He had a leather glove on his right hand. He was shirtless and barefoot, wearing jeans, with red spikes coming out of him. He lifted it, and a giant blue budgie landed on his glove. He gave the a piece of meat, which it quickly gobbled up. "Uh...falconry?" I said.

"Something like that." He lifted both arms, and a flock of parakeets landed on his arms.

"Aren't they cute?"

"That's the point," he said. He closed his eyes, and straightened his arms. A great beautiful blade formed above us, the color of the sky. Then, I realized it was made of birds.

"Now it's time for you to go," he said, forming a portal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I hugged Spike. Everything around me faded to black as I woke
Final Battle
I tumbled out of a portal on to the Moon. Raven was facing down Tooth. The others seemed to be watching. I jumped back through the portal, and landed in the dragon's nest. She was sitting in a circle, and there was an energy dome around a clutch of eggs.
"How do I defeat this fucker?" I asked her.

I looked at the energy dome. "Oh, right," I said. I hit the button on my belt, and a force field of energy formed around me. I focused on the portal I hoped was still on the Moon, and teleported back.

Raven was blasting Tooth with a double bladed staff. White hot magic was shooting out, as Tooth walked toward her, trying to grab her. "Don't you touch me, fucker," she said. Every time he got close, his hand bounced off of an invisible force field.
"Hey Tooth," I said, and he ignored me. "Hey, Tooth," I yelled, time to take you to the dentist."
He turned and looked at me. "That joke doesn't even make sense! Your jokes suck!" I laughed at him as he charged me with a giant hand. I sat down on the ground. He bounced off my energy shield. "Why you gotta be a bitch?" he whined. He started pounding on my energy field.
"Why you gotta be a wigger?" I asked.
"Hey fuck you man! You don't know shit about me." My energy gloves formed around my fists, and I stood up. He formed his hands into claws, trying to penetrate the force field.
"I bet you wear a Jay-Z tshirt all day, but you probably listen to emo!"
My gloves started slowly extending.
"That was a lame insult. You really suck at dream battling."
My gloves extended beyond the force field, and I grabbed him by the ankles with my energy. I swung him in a circle, and I spun him around tossing him far away. As he flew through the air, he looked like an ugly doll. He landed, and stood up.

Secret segment (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Note: Initially I had left this part out, because my dream guide said to do it to protect Spike, but Raven's dream guides said it was cool (and they know her better0, so here it is.
(redacted for secret magic)
"Ack!" he screamed in pain. "You fucking asshole!"
"You fucking asshole!" I mimicked. Then, I said walking slowly toward him getting louder and louder, "What? Who said that? What is your birthday? What is the price of coffee in Brazil, eastern standard time? What the fuck? Japan! Japan! Japan! Shut the hell up! Get out of my head! What year did you graduate high school? 867-5309 This asshole is driving me insane!"

"Shut the hell up!" he screamed hysterically.

I grabbed him by the ankles with my energy gloves, and I anchored myself down with my boots, and spun him around, and tossed him toward Raven and Selene. He attacked Raven as before, but he was much weaker now. He was about four times the size of a normal person. Selene flew up, and fired bolts of moonlight at his face, he put his hands up in front of his face, "Gaah!"

Suddenly, Spike appeared behind him on the ground. Spike flew up, and landed on his neck, and bit down, sucking his energy out of him. Tooth reached up to grab him, screaming in pain, but he faded into a mist, and I saw a little orange flame flickering in the mist. Spike landed on the ground and wiped glowing yellowish liquid off of his mouth, and Tooth began fading.

He whimpered on the ground, and I tossed him into a purple vortex.
"That shit was insane," I said to Raven. She nodded, and leaned on me, breathing heavily.
"I know, wake up, write everything down." The dream faded.

Commentary:

So, I guess Nightstalkers exist, or there are people on the dream plane that call themselves Nightstalkers. I still am not sure if people can really invade dreams. Just the fact that Raven and I have been sharing dreams makes me think that we already have accessed some type of dreamworld, or The DreamWorld that exists outside our two minds.

I am sure I opened myself to attack by posting a Dream Battle tutorial in the Beyond dreaming forum, since he referenced that. I don't know if he just wanted to sap my energy, have fun, or had something to prove. Fighting in the DreamWorld is more fun than any game I have ever played, so I can't really say that he truly pissed me off. He actually made me laugh when he talked like a flamer.

Interesting how Raven and my perception of things are always slightly different, but often extremely similar. It just depends on our archetypes, and other way we see things.

wrinkled purple corpse = zombie from Resident Evil
tapeworms = tentacles
black cloud = black blob

I am glad that I have already fought real people before this creepy fucker. He was powerful, but I learned a lot by fighting him. So, Mr, Tooth, (I know you are reading this) thank you. I am also glad that I have strong allies in Raven, Selene, and Spike, and for the gifts that Selene has given me.

I learned a lot of lessons by fighting him, which I am sure you will also learn, if you have eyes to see.

I said "I hate punk... why would I play punk guitar" we went back and forth like that for a while. I kept looking across the table and across from me was a beautiful woman with brown hair. she never spoke but always seemed to look at me whenever i looked at her. she never seemed annoyed and seemed to match my gaze. she had huge brown eyes and a child like face. but her eyes seemed much older. Her face was sometimes luminescent, as if she was trying to burn her image of her into my mind. Both her and waking nomad stuck out of the dream like a color character in a black and white film.

I looked at the wooden railings and recognised Slayer's handwritting. The words spoke of synchronicity. I said to Nomad "so, you and slayer are friends now huh." he said "that's right." Then he harrassed me more about about playing punk guitar.

Small lucid: I realised i was entering a dream. I was outside a large warehouse floating to ward it. I grabbed onto a white pipe. I forgot what i had wanted to do and the dream faded almost instantly

Warehouse (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was sitting at a beat up old pressed board circular folding table, in some random mismatched chairs with some people. I was teasing this guy about playing Guitar Hero. I told him he must have a lot of virtual fans.
I had my arm around some hot chick, and I leaned back in my chair cockily. We were playing cards, but I wasn't really paying much attention to the game. There were people setting up for something. They were carrying speakers and hanging lights. They seemed to not notice us. I felt like we were by some warehouse by the docks, the generic fighting place for superheroes. I wondered if any bad guys were going to pop out. I suddenly was floating above the warehouse, and it reminded me of a scene from a Batman cartoon.
Then, I was back in the warehouse at the card table. I was drinking a cheap bottle of beer, and smoking a cigarette.
I felt like talking about the meaning of life for some reason, but I thought this would be an inappropriate setting. I tapped my cig in the ashtray, and the dream faded.

I later realized the woman was Selene.

Note: Raven entitled this dream "Mortal Kombat!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 on 1 vs Tooth (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

As I went to sleep, I focused on the moon.
For some reason, I was not on the moon, but flying toward the moon in outer space. I hit the button on my energy belt, and an energy field formed around me.
Pink glowing astral parasites flew toward me the way iron shavings are drawn toward a magnet, but the bounced of my energy field, and couldn't stick to it.
"Damn, why am I not on the moon?" I said to myself. I sensed danger.
My dragon pets appeared on my shoulders, the golden one on the right, and the sky blue on one the left.
Suddenly, Tooth was floating in front of me. The golden one rushed at him, and blew fire in his face. "AH!" he put up his hands, and his skin smoldered.
Then, the sky blue one, the water dragon turned into water, and splashed him in the face.
"What?" he laughed. Then, the golden one flew on the back of his wet head and shocked him with lightning.
"Argh! You asshole! Can't you ever fight by yourself?" My baby dragons returned to me.
A green glow formed around his right hand. I sighed, which really annoyed him.
"Hey, why don't we fight one-on-one, in an arena, without anyone interfering?"
"Hmph," he said, "Uh, okay."
There was no way he could get out of it, since he implied that's what he wanted anyway.
"Come with me to the moon, and we can meet someone who can take us there." I teleported to the moon without saying anything more.

I appeared on the moon, and I saw Raven, Selene, and there were some other people, too. I don't remember who they were, but I think they may have been from the forums.
Tooth appeared right after me. Raven put her hand on the hilt of her sword. "Wait," I told her, "we're going to fight one-on-one in the colloseum."

"Oh," she smiled. She looked like she was talking to a spirit, like when someone channels.
I was suddenly in the colloseum again, but this time Tooth was across from me. I sensed Raven, Selene, and an invisible Spike watching. I knew Q was there too, but I felt more like he was the colloseum itself, or something. Tooth looked a little disoriented, then he looked at me.

He started charging up his ugly big right hand. I ran at him, and punched him in the hand. "Ow, shit!" he said.
"Round 1!" said a voice, "goes to Nomad!"
"Wait, what?" said Tooth, "what kind of bullshit is this?"

We were suddenly back in the same positions.
"What is this?" I thought amusedly. "Are we playing Mortal Kombat or something?"
"Round 2! Begin!" said the voice.
I changed into a minotaur, and Tooth changed into a bull. "Really?" I laughed.
I thought he would expect I would change into a giant lava minotaur again, so I changed my tact.
I slowly turned into a beautiful white unicorn with long eyelashes. I flicked my mane and whinnied. Selene clapped her hands with delight. He charged me, and I slowly grew my horn as I ran at him, then as we made contact, I poked him right between the horns.
"Gaah!" he shouted.
"Winner of Round 2: Nomad!"

"Wait!" said Tooth, but we were already back in starting positions.
"This is some bullshit," he murmured, then ran right at me, getting frustrated. I pretended like I was going to brace myself for the impact, but instead I did a judo throw and tossed him behind me.
"Dammit!" he shouted.
"Nomad is the winner of Round 3!"

We were back in starting positions again.
"Round 4, begin!" said the voice.
He tried doing his giant mouth attack like he was going to eat me. I looked away from his mouth and stood there, smiling. When his horrible mouth got close, I teleported behind him, and slapped him on his head.
"Wait! What?"
"Wait! What? Wait What?" I mocked as I teleported around him slapping him on the top of his head repeatedly.
"You bas-"

"Winner Round 4: Waking Nomad! Round 5 begin!"
"Turd!" continued Tooth, and I laughed, which pissed him off even more.
He slowly grew in size, getting bigger and bigger. "That ol' gag?" I laughed at him again, as then I shrunk down to about 2 or 3 feet tall.
"What the fuck?" he said.
"Oh shit! Wrong direction!" I feigned fear. This made him pleased with himself, and he kept growing until he was 50 or sixty feet tall.
I multiplied myself, until there was about 100 or 200 hundred Nomads, and surrounded him in a circle.
"Hey, fuck this shit!" he said as he put his two fists together, and tried to smash my copies. They ran away laughing.
The Nomads stood in a circle around him, and shrunk down even smaller, until we were about six inches high.
"What the fuck?" he said again.
"Don't you have anything more interesting to say?" said the real me in a tiny voice.
He turned his big ugly purple corpse face toward me, and all the copies started lauging at him in tiny voices.
"Raa!" he roared. "Stop laughing at me!"
Then, my copies swirled around him, and some ran up his legs, swarming over his body like army ants, while other copies ran in circles on the ground with their swords drawn, laughing like maniacs. The copies ran up his body, stabbing him with their swords in the energy weak spots, OtherMe (me-from-the-other-dimension) had showed me.
"Ack!" he twitched, and slightly convulsed like a man being stung by wasps.
"Match!" said a voice, and we were back in starting positions.
I looked like a badass Bedouin, wearing all white, and a scimitar hung from my hip. My eyes glowed red, and steam slowly rose from my clothes.
"Winner of Match, five to zero: Waaaaaaaakiiiiiiiiiiing NOMAD!" shouted the voice.
"Hey, fuck you!" said Tooth quietly, and spit on the ground. I drew my sword, and he tightened up, then I laughed and leaned on it like a cane, and crossed my ankles.
Tooth teleported out of there. Selene ran up and kissed me. "I like the unicorn!" she said. "So cute!"
"Oh! There is so much I want to do tonight," I told Raven.
"Hmm?" she said, looked away from Spike who was holding her as
(Note: Originally I had typed "ass" here, but I changed it after I reread it. he caressed his chest. "Oh, well, don't you think you better wake up, and write this down before you forget? I don't think you need much more sleep."
"You're right," I conceded. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. Selene stood on her tiptoes, and kissed me, and the dream faded.

That was so epic!!! Thanks for teaching me to multiply, and teleport, Raven Knight!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Selene's Lucidity (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Excerpt from my DJ

I fell asleep, focusing on the moon.
I was in outer space again. I knew what this meant by now. I turned on my energy belt, and immediately afterward pink glowing astral parasites tried to stick on me, but bounced off of my energy shield. I saw Tooth to my left.
"Dammit, I got shit to do," I said without looking at him. I opened a portal in front of me, spun, and went through.
Selene was waiting on the moon for me. I saw Tooth in the distance, fighting with some people. He was a giant size.
"You know what?" I said to myself in my head, "fuck that guy, I really don't feel like dealing with his bullshit right now."
Selene ran up and gave me a kiss. I held her for a second, then looked her seriously in the eyes. I turned on my energy shield again, generating from the energy belt Selene had given me. It grew large enough to shield both of us.
"Selene," I said, "I want to know if you are real."
"Of course, I am," she smiled, "you already know that."
"I mean, do you have a physical form?"
She looked bewildered, "I don't know... I..."
"You are dreaming!" I interrupted.
Her eyes got wide, and she stared off, as if in a trance. It kind of scared me.
"What is your name? Where do you live?"
"My name is A_____ S______ and I live in Washington State."
(this is what I had heard her say in Waking life)
"What is your address?"
"8*** S_____ L_____ Lane, Redmond, Washington."
"Okay!" I said excitedly, and woke up.

(dream continued in Nomad Chronicles)

Note: Raven and I had some divergent dream goals: Hers was to heal her friend, mine was to find out if maybe Selene has physical form she is unaware of in dreams (which Raven helped me do, but of course it was my goal primarily). I thought it might have been Raven fighting Tooth aka Gimpy, but I know she could handle him, since I can kick his ass, and she can kick my ass. We also both were curious to see if we could make friends with Tooth/Gimpy, since he's a user on DV (username unknown) but he just wants to be a disgusting "Nightstalker" as he calls himself.

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

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

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

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

I had already looked up a person with this name, and one person I found was a pretty young veterinarian. I found that the address didn't exist, numberwise, but I mix numbers up all the time in waking life anyway, due to a learning disability I have. There are two roads with similar names, but they end in Road, or Drive, and they are in Everett. I googled the the two streets in Everett, and they are a 45 minute drive away from the vet's clinic. I began having a strange feeling of belief mixed with a strong feeling of doubt, which was really strange. I found out this woman had gotten married. I wondered if she was divorced now like me. I decided to WILD again. I smoked one little hit of ganja, and went back to sleep.
I saw Tooth in front of Selene. She was still in a trance. Tooth was in the form of a man-sized zombie toad. He looked so revolting. He shot out a slimy tongue, and it wrapped around Selene. I saw energy flowing out of her into him. "That slimy bastard!" I thought. I leaped up, and slammed down on to his head, heels first.
"Gaah!" He leaped up high, to get away, but I caught him in a purple energy net. I was using my energy gloves instinctively now. I anchored myself with my energy boots, and spun him around. I opened a portal, and tossed him in like a hammer throw.
Raven appeared. I had a feeling Spike was there, but invisible.
Raven looked at Selene, and then did the same fire spell she did on me in another dream to burn the ectoplasm off of Selene.
Raven noticed Selene's trance-like state. She looked concerned, then looked at me.
"What happened?"
"Well, she's lucid, I think. I told her, 'you are dreaming.' She told me her name and stuff. I'm confused. Let's try and find her sleeping body."
"Okay," said Raven, and opened a portal. "Dammit!" I said, "I can't maintain focus. I am too emotional right now."
"Just grab my hand," said Raven. I grabbed her hand, and then Selene's hand and we went through. We were standing in the bedroom of a sleeping woman. I didn't really pay attention to what it looked like.
Selene looked down at Raven and I holding hands. She looked angry, and confused. I let go of Raven's hand. She seemed like she was still in a semi-trance.
I shook Selene. "Selene, Selene!"
"Huh? What?" She came out of the trance, and looked at me. I pointed at the sleeping woman.
"Is that you? Is that your sleeping body?"
"Huh?" she looked at the woman in bed. She seemed a bit startled and upset. "Me? No! Yes."
"What?"
"I'm sorry," she started crying. "I just wanted to be with you."
It all made sense now.
I held her in my arms, and teleported back to the moon. I held her as she cried quietly on my chest. I stroked her thick black hair. "You don't have to do that any more, okay? I don't want you to. Just be with me here." I caressed the back of her head, and held her around the waist. She looked up at me, and kissed lightly through her tears.
"Maybe I can make myself more corporeal!" I said.
"Okay," she said excitedly.
I looked down at my arms. I could see the flesh on them. I touched my forearms. They felt real. I felt my dream body getting more and more solid. Selene and I were somehow in a forest glen. It was the same one where we were with Spike after the first time we fought the Vampire King.
It was peaceful. There was light bluish grass growing ankle-high, and wildflowers about. The trees were small and young.
We held each other for a long time in silence. I thought about how real she felt.
[COLOR="DimGray"]**** missing time. I think I may have woke up, and went back to sleep here.

Note: I obviously totally lost Raven here, because I was so concerned about Selene. Selene and I have a long history. I am not going to go into detail about that now (it's very personal. But if you want to know the nature of what she is, and our relationship, send me a PM, and I'll tell you.

I have a good feeling about you guys. I give you both permission to dream with me.

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

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

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

I followed Q as he walked across the moon for a bit. He said that he had found a good spot. He snapped his fingers. The ground began to shake. Something was rising out of the ground. It was a tall tower.

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

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

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

[/COLOR]I was back on the moon with Selene. I saw Raven in the distance with Spike. She waved at me. There was a huge structure behind her. There was a huge curved tower, sweeping up into the night sky, the way the surface went concave and convex reminded me of a tree. At the bottom of the tower was a large banyan tree, with wooden egg shapes hanging off of the branches, large enough for a person to fit in. When I saw how tiny the banyan tree was under the tower, I realized how big the tower was.
At the top of the tower was a slightly pointed elliptical shape. The tower was a metallic blue-black color.
"That is a kickass fortress!" I called to Raven.
"I know!" she said. "Come inside!" She beckoned.
Suddenly the three of us were in the top of the tower, sitting in large comfortable chairs, at consoles, with windows facing out. I felt Spike's invisible presence standing behind us. He seemed to be in a serious mood.
I was so excited, I started to lose clarity, so I stared at the console. It was full of little screens, knobs, buttons, switches, and a keyboard. "Cool!"
"Now we have a fortress on the moon, in case any bastard like Tooth tries to attack us, and we don't feel like fighting."
"Exactly," said Raven.
"Funny how we thought of this at the same time, but we never really talked about it in waking life, yeah?"
"I know!" she smiled.
"So, this is a spaceship, right?"
"Yup."
"Nice." I pressed a big pink button, and the ship lifted off the tower.
"Let's have a space adventure!"
"Easy there," said Raven. "You've already had an intense night. This dream is pretty important. You don't want to forget it. I already see you fading away. Why don't you set 'er down, and wake up and write the dream down?"
"You're right!" I laughed.
"I like your tree house, by the way!" said Raven.
Selene turned and looked at me, burning her face into my mind as I awoke, with the distinct feeling that they were going on without me.
"Oh well," I thought as I woke. "This dream is very important."[/INDENT]

I got so excited when I saw that picture of the tower, for it's almost exactly like how it looked in my dream, except for the elliptical shape at the top.

Awesome brother! Now, we have a beacon on the moon to meet at, and I have a cool banyan tree house growing at the base. I give you permission to enter the fortress.

WakingNomad, it's the most amazing topic I've ever read. No kidding
I myself try to share dream with others, but, unfortunately, without any success. It could be because my partners weren't lucid at that time or I use a wrong technique. Besides I've never tried to share dream on the Moon... May be that is the right place!

Do all of your shared dreams happen on the Moon? Have you tried other places with the same success?

A couple people from my Russian Lucid Dream Forum have been trying to share dream for a long time. And no luck! They get lucid, look for each other behind doors, find, talk. But later they discover that both of them saw different dreams. Nothing was shared. Do you guys know what the problem is? May be Raven Knight as the most experienced among us can give a clue?

The problem might be that both dreams aren't supposed to be exactly the same. Each dreamer experiences their own individual dream, it's not just one dream where they meet.

But the differences between each dream are always related in an archtypical manner.


WakingNomad, could you include links to RavenKnights DJ so it will be easier too find the corresponding dream her her DJ? I've having trouble synching up your dreams.

The Cusp, of course there have to be some differences, but something in common has to be too, right? And in the dreams of WakingNomad and Raven Knight we all can see them. But in my case there is almost nothing at all.

The only thing we all can do there (on my forum) is to see in a dream the right appearance of the person we've never ever seen (even on the photograph). In our LDs we find each other, remember the appearance (age, height, hair color, eyes color, etc), then wake up and compare. In most cases the found DCs look like those persons that we intended to find. So, we find the correct persons and they don't remember it!
Probably, the reason for this lays in weak lucidity. When one is lucid, another is not lucid. It's hard to get lucid at the same time. But anyways, we remember not lucid dreams too. Why are those "supposed to be shared" dreams not remembered? This situation is kind of strange and disappointing.

Could it be that they shared the same dream and they just saw things differently while they were there? Nomad's and my shared dreams don't always match perfectly. That has to do with the way our individual minds intepret different things. Usually my mind tries to resolve what I see into something familiar. Somehow I doubt I am really seeing Altaïr in my dreams... Also, I see the nightstalker I call Chicken-Wuss as a zombie from Resident Evil while Nomad sees something entirely different, although just as disgusting!

Nomad and I shared our first dream by focusing on a specific place. Have your friends tried that? Instead of becoming lucid and then looking for each other? Or for one of them to try to summon the other... Just a couple of thoughts. I wouldn't call myself any kind of expert, it seems to come easily to me... at least it does now. When I was first doing it with my ex it was hard to get us together! If they are persistent I bet they can do it!

Could be. But at least they have to remember that they met and what they talked about. That doesn't happen.

I've tried to share dream with my husband a few times. I found him in my LDs, told him it was a dream, stayed beside him, asked stupid questions. I did everything to get noticed and to wake up his mind. But every time he told me that he didn't even see me in his dreams... Don't know what to think. And he has very vivid dreams and usually remember his early morning dreams.

No, they haven't tried that yet. I'll tell them.
Thank you

Do you sleep at the same time to share dream?

Yes, but not that easily! Let's use the two examples we have so far, the ficus tree, and the Tower.

The banyan tree excerpt from my lucid DJ:

I also looked at my hands saying, "Look at your hands. This is a dream. Make a tornado."

Tornado Dream #1:
( Third person perspective ) I am inside my dream house, a living house made from a banyan tree. I sleep in an egg shape made of banyan tree roots. The banyan tree is on a steep mountainside in Hawaii. I look like a creature in that movie Wizards, or a character by the graffiti artist Katch 1 whose art I just looked at on Saturday. I stick my head out of my egg/room and see a giant dark grey almost black tornado on the plain.

A friend who is a bit of an American sadhu, and I came up with the idea for a living house. This is something I want to grow in waking life. I thought of this in order to have a place, a kind of jumping off point for all my dreams.

When I started having shared dreams with Raven Knight, the jumping off point became the Moon.

When our dreams kept getting interrupted by the revolting Mr. Tooth, we simultaneously desired a fortress on the moon to keep out unwanted entities. I think she mentioned it in her DJ, but I was already thinking the same thing.

The Tower appeared, and to my delight, my living house appeared beneath it. I think it has to do with the idea of having a jumping off point, a place to meet to begin dreams, though the Tower was her idea and mine (given to us by the one she perceives as Q), and the tree was my idea, but got transferred to the moon.

We tried Stonehenge once, but, I got intercepted my Selene, and when Raven looked for me, I wasn't there. At this point I didn't know it was Selene. We probably could meet somewhere else, but now the Moon is so ingrained in our minds, so familiar that it gets easier every time.

Maybe their dream was shared but they don't realize it. I'd need more detail to form an opinion.

You will be able to do that easily, because you think it's badass. So do I! If and idea doesn't excite or interest you, you probably can't do it. Example: I had a harder time doing the simple task of the month because it was boring to me, while the advanced one was easier, because it excited me.

Yeah. I just thought of that today.

There are many possibilities. Lack of recall may be one. A lack of lucidity may be another. Another thing is apparently you are coming from the paradigm that your dream body looks like your waking life body. I have never seen a picture of Raven Knight's physical face. It doesn't matter. We recognize each other by energy signature. I always see her as a woman dressed in a white tunic, pants, and leather boots, wearing a cape and cowl, with a sword on her hip. I tried to focus on her face once, and I couldn't see it clearly.

Instead of trying to see the person, and get there physical characteristics, I think it would be easier just to try and go to the same place, and do the same thing with them.

Do you sleep at the same time to share dream?

Are your husband's dreams lucid? If not, he may not recognize you. I don't think we always share dreams at the exact same time.

Man of Shred and I have had one non-lucid shared dream, but he recognized me, but I did not recognize him, or Selene. I had another lucid dream of him, that he has no recollection of.

Again, not trying to be rude, but the logical, scientific part of me is breaking out again. How can you two be sure you don't just have dreams with one another, and your mind pieces together a probable solution to the dream? For instance, maybe you're just predicting what Raven would do in the dream scenario based on what you know about her... actually, the shared dream theory makes more sense, but can you still be sure?

I found myself on the moon. That didn't really surprise me. I am so used to going to the moon that it just happens automatically. I wasn't lucid. I hadn't placed a whole lot of emphasis on staying aware as I fell asleep. So I was just standing on the moon trying to relax. I stared up at the stars. So many stars. So clear and sharp without the interference of the Earth's atmosphere. So beautiful… I was staring up at the stars when a portal opened. Nomad came through. My first thought was to leave. I was thinking my negative energy could infect those around me. I don't want that to happen. I turned to leave but Spike was there. He said I don't have to go. I saw creatures come out after Nomad. It seemed familiar. A huge bird, a giant squid, and a dinosaur of some kind. Now there was a chance to get rid of some of my negative energy. I formed Witchblade into a sword and prepared to attack one of them. Nomad was indicating to not attack. I wondered why. I waited even though I wanted to attack something. Nomad pulled an Alex Mercer (Off of Prototype game). He went to each of the creatures in turn and consumed them. He absorbed them into himself. I thought that was really strange. I thought I felt the dream slipping. I felt disoriented. Everything faded to black, but I felt myself in Spike's arms…

Lone Journeys (excerpt) (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I tumbled through a portal on the moon. An giant squid, a great pig-man, and a huge bird tumbled through after me. My friends were about to attack. I told them, "No, these are my 'aumakua, my totems. For some reason I didn't recognize it before. They are part of me, in a sense, manifestations of my rage. Do not fight them. I need to merge with them."

I absorbed he'e, the great squid, the great octopus, Kanaloa, the god of the sea. I absorbed Pueo, the owl, the one who sees. I absorbed pua'a, Kamapua'a, the boar-man demigod. I felt their power in me.

Glowing blue-white transparent tentacles came out of me, and I grew huge, morphing into a great red minotaur. My eyes glowed yellow, and steam rose from my skin.

"AAh! I feel their power!" I said with a voice like thunder, then I was my crystal energy self, glowing green on the moon.

"So Raven, do you-" but I was interrupted by her fainting in Spike's arms. Selene, Spike and I teleported into the sick bay at the Tower with Raven Knight. A medical droid appeared and a gurney. Spike laid her down on the gurney. The Tower said, "Diagnosis: _______ "

Note: The Tower said: Depression, but I withheld that for Raven's privacy.

Altaïr was still there with me. The fact that I was with Altaïr didn't seem odd at all. He was trying to get me to go with him. I went along. We got to the gates of the city. A guard asked what was wrong with me. Altaïr said I was tired and he needed to get me home. I looked up at the guard and smiled. He asked if I was ok. I said I was tired. Just tired. Altaïr went to a horse. He seemed to hesitate. He got up on the horse and then held his hand down to me. He helped me up on the horse. I was now on a horse with my arms around Altaïr. We were riding like the wind. I heard someone yell something about an assassin… but we didn't even slow down. The yelling faded in the distance behind us. I think I zoned out a bit…

… I was on the horse with my arms around the horse's neck. Altaïr was gone. I sat up a bit and looked around. I saw Altaïr and Nomad. Spike and Selene. They all had swords and were fighting Templars. Their swords were sparking with white lightning. I wondered where they had gotten the white lightning. Then I saw Spike re-charge Altaïr's sword as they were fighting. I was thinking I should be helping. I felt pathetic for not helping. I sat up on the horse. I focused on Battery by Metallica and the bolt of lightning caught a Templar completely by surprise. He was consumed by white lightning. That was a bit satisfying… I heard someone yelling something about a witch being awake. I think I zoned out again…

Lightning Swords (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fragment
I was riding through the forest with Spike, Selene, and Raven on horses. We were all in white. Raven was on Spike's horse. She was leaning on him, like she was wounded, but I didn't see any blood. I had a feeling she was sick. There was a kind of dark black-purple aura about her.

Fragment
My horse and Selene's horse were gone. Raven was now draped over Spike's horse. We fought these random a-holes, spinning swords, lopping off heads.

Music began coming out of Raven in waves, altering reality. The random enemies began pointing and shouting at her. Lightning came down from the sky, and hit all the enemies around us. My sword was charged with lightning. Selene was firing white arrows from a white bow at the enemies. Her arrows were on fire.

I liked the lightning feel in my sword. The sword was vibrating and singing with delight.

The horse reared as enemies popped up in front of it. Raven almost fell off. I threw two throwing knives at two of them, and Selene shot the rest. I slapped the horse's rump, and it whinnied and took off through the forest.

Cool!
The way I do it is I have a beautiful lake in the mountains with a nice grassy beach where I have a purple teepe with an altar inside. But outside the teepe to the right if you are facing the lake, I have a magic mirror that is taller than me. I visualise the person I have arranged to have a shared dream with (who is a good friend of mine, or sometimes it is an old girlfriend of mine who we don't have to have any prior arrangements with, we email each other when we dream of each other).
Anyway, the person appears in my mirror and I stick my hands through the mirror and take his or her hands and I walk through the mirror.
For me this place is my jumping off place, but my friends have their own jumping off place. But we meet through the mirror and we go from there to a third location. I've been to the moon in a few shared dreams. There were others there, maybe one of you were there? One time I flew up in a rocket and was standing upside down on the bottom of the moon! LOL! The moon was actually quite small that time. But when I've been right side up on the moon it was big, like in real life. I found some base there and some cool ice/crystal temple city with funny people there.

He chuckled and said no, this is literally a dream. He said to wake up and become lucid. I looked into Spike's eyes and realized I was dreaming…

Spike and I were on the moon. Nothing else seemed to be going on. I spotted a woman. She saw us and came over. She asked if we had seen Nomad. I said no. I said he had probably been delayed by Chicken-Wuss. I said Chicken-Wuss is a glutton for punishment. It seems he just can't get his ass kicked enough. I said Nomad would make quick work of Chicken-Wuss and he should be here soon. As if on cue a portal opened and Nomad came through. He wasn't alone. He was being followed by three strange creatures. One looked like a giant bird thing. A second one looked like a dinosaur of some kind. The third one looked like a giant squid. Nomad landed near us. I asked him who his friends were. He said they weren't friends. I said I hadn't figured they were… I said I had the dibs on the flying type! I was thinking about pokémon battles and was certain flying type would be weak against lightning. I jumped into the air and took flight. I used the song Battery by Metallica to summon a bolt of lightning on the bird creature. The lightning hit the bird right in the face. The bird squawked and fell to the ground. It immediately righted itself and darted at me. I blocked the bird's beak with my Witchblade armor. I formed it into a sword and charged the sword with electricity. I attacked the bird again. This time I flew up on top of the creature and drove my sword directly into its head. I pulled the sword out of the bird's head and sliced through its neck to make sure the job was finished. My sword went about half way through the bird's neck. Spike was on the other side of the bird, also with a sword. He sliced the bird's neck the rest of the way through, effectively decapitating it. The bird's head fell to the ground and the bird fell over dead.

A foul odor reached my nose. I wondered if the bird thing had a foul odor when dead. I was thinking there seem to be a lot more instances where I would rather forgo dream smelling than instances where I enjoy it. I held my nose. That did no good. I turned just in time to see a huge Nomad slice what appeared to be a puking Chicken-Wuss in half once and then again. Chicken-Wuss exploded in a rain of goop. Nomad landed on the ground and made a small crater. I went over to where he was. His energy was wrong. I had the idea his energy was unstable. I asked if he was ok. He seemed to be in a trance. He finally said Chicken-Wuss had followed him. He looked really pissed. I figured he was just frustrated with Chicken-Wuss. I thought maybe we could get his mind off of that. I asked if he wanted to see his new space ship at the tower. He perked up immediately and said yes.

We teleported to the landing bay. There was a sleek silver ship there next to my Fire Valkyrie. An entry melted into the side as if the silver was fluid. I smelled a foul odor. It was coming from Nomad. I was about to ask if he had cut one when I looked and saw Nomad was covered with slime. Spike was also covered with slime. We had all been slimed. I used a wave of energy to clear the slime off of us. I thought that must have happened when Chicken-Wuss exploded. Now we went into Nomad's new ship. The entrance melted closed behind us. The interior looked like the ship on Flight of the Navigator. Nomad took the controls and we flew out of the landing bay at high speeds. We were zipping around on the moon making all sorts of cool maneuvers. I was thinking it was more fun than any rollercoaster. I happened to look at Nomad. He was wounded. There was a cut on his arm that was maggot infested. I asked Nomad what had happened. He said he hadn't seen that injury. I focused on healing it. Nomad responded by changing form. He transformed into a giant minotaur. His new form ripped right through the hull of his new space ship. I could tell he hadn't done that deliberately. I used Of Wolf and Man by Metallica, directing the spell at him to transform him back to his normal form. I asked what was wrong. He said he couldn't control it. The ship started repairing itself and was soon back in one piece.

The voice of the ship spoke. It told Nomad to go into a scanning pod. He did and it began scanning him. His energy was definitely unstable. There was a strange growth where it shouldn't have been. The computer highlighted that. Nomad asked what it was. The computer said it was a parasite that feeds on negative energy. It said it could remove it but Nomad would have to be careful or it could come back. Stay calm for a while and it won't return. A small laser focused on the growth and burned it away. I asked Nomad how he felt. He took out a plant. I didn't recognize the plant. He said it was for healing. He set it down. I looked at the plant for a bit. Nomad said he felt better. He said he wanted to find more dream warriors. I was losing the dream. I said I would be back if I could, but now I was about to wake up. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

Dream Warriors (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Damn you, Chicken-Wuss
As I fell asleep, I focused on the moon.
I was in outer space. I knew what this meant: Chicken-Wuss was going to attack me. "Dammit!" I thought, "I am so sick of this bastard!"

I created a portal in front of me. I felt one of Chicken-Wuss's tentacles wrap around my ankle. "Gaah!" I cut it off with my green lightsaber, and went through.

missing time

I had other dreams, woke up, went back to sleep, focusing on the moon.

Monster Battle
I fell through a purple vortex portal, and landed on the moon. Three giant monsters fell through after me. There was the red demon from my dream before, some blue bird-like thing, and and a greenish black monster like an octopus with short tentacles, and one huge eye. "What the hell?" I thought. I knew that Raven, Spike, and Selene were there, and were going to immediately attack the monsters.

I didn't bother hesitating either. I leaped up on top of the octopus monster, and plunged my lightsaber into its eye. Then, I jumped back down, and ran in a circle, around it, cutting off all its tentacles. I turned on my force field, and flew right through it, with my lightsaber in front of me, creating a huge hole in it. The monster turned into a bunch of little green worms, and tried to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

I summoned my golden dragon, and he breathed fire on all the worms, burning them to crisps, then he disappeared.

I saw the others fighting giant monsters in a city in the distance. "What the hell is this? A Godzilla movie?" I thought to myself. There were two monsters, the demon, and the bird-thing. Raven and Selene were whizzing around in the air, shooting bolts of fire and moonlight at the monsters, and Spike was running back and forth between them at superspeed, wielding two short swords, slicing them up, leaping up on to them, stabbing them, then flipping off.

I morphed into Otherme. I was wearing jeans, shirtless, and barefoot, instead of my usual white desert nomad clothes. Long red spikes protruded from my body. I put my arms out at my sides and closed my eyes. Dozens of cute little blue parakeets landed on my arms.

The red demon turned and looked at me. "Oh, that ol' gag?" he laughed. I launched the parakeets into the air, and they morphed into an impossibly huge sky blue blade, floating horizontally in the sky. I could still see the parakeets inside the blade, wings spread, perfectly still, looking straight ahead. I felt an inner rage come over me.

I morphed in a giant minotaur, and grabbed the handle of the blade. It was so huge, at first it was hard to tell it was actually a great sword. I ran at the demon, roaring with a dark fury. I raised my sword, and brought it down slicing him in half vertically. I spun around, and sliced the other monster in half. His pieces turned into a bunch of little demons. I multiplied myself into dozens of small minotaurs, leaping down on the little demons, and stabbing them in the crown of their heads.

I somersaulted out of the city, and the buildings faded and disappeared. Then, I sensed Tooth (aka Chicken-Wuss) above me. I turned on my force field. He rained down a torrent of something disgusting. It was like he was vomiting maggots on me. His maggots just bounce off, and slid down the side of my force field. I looked at him above me. He had jet boots on his feet, and was slowly descending to the surface of the moon. "A zombie with jet boots? How ridiculous!" I thought. My minotaur eyes glowed red with anger. I had enough of him interfering in my dreams.

I jumped straight up at him. He was surprised by my fury. I sliced him in half with my budgie sword, then again horizontally. He changed into a bunch of little worms. I summoned a swarm of ravens, and they gobbled up all the worms.

Raven walked over to me. I changed back into my Nomad form, but I was still holding my sky blue sword, breathing heavily. My eyes glowed red, and steam rose from my skin.

Raven Knight clapped me on the back, "So, when did you become such a- Nomad?"
She looked at me concerned. I was gazing off into nothingness. "Nomad, are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah. I just..." I shook my head, and turned back into my nomad self. "I'm fine. Thanks."
"Okay," she said, doubtfully. "What the hell was that?"
"I guess Tooth followed me... but he was here afterward. Those monsters, I think we are attracting them as our powers increase. Maybe they are his little friends."
"Hmm," she pondered. "Let's go to the tower."

We teleported into the control room.
"So do you want to see-eyew!" said Raven. "Look at us." We were all covered with slimy ectoplasm. Music came out of her, and a healing fire came from above, burning all the slime off of us. "Mm, that's better," she said. "So, do you want to see your spaceship?" she asked me.

Losin' It
"Hell, yeah!" I said. We immediately were inside a silver spaceship. The insides of it were perfectly curved and smooth, with no straight lines. I sat down in the pilot's chair. "Like in Flight of the Navigator!" she smiled.
"Right!" I laughed. "This is the kind of the Greys have."

I started flying the ship telepathically, spinning it around, and making it do all kinds of crazy maneuvers. I looked down at my right arm for some reason. There was a big gash on my forearm, with little green parasites squirming about in it. "Gyaah! What the hell is this?" Raven looked at the wound, and did some type of fire spell on it. I was freaked out by the maggot things. I started shapeshifting uncontrollably. "Nomad, what's going on?"

"I can't-"
"Focus!" she yelled at me.
Her voice sounded strange and distant, my vision blurred and faded. I felt like I was going insane.

RAAA! I morphed into a giant lava minotaur, bursting through the skin of the ship. "What is wrong with me?" I roared. Raven shot a beam of purple flame at me, glowing orange at the tips. I shrunk down, and returned to normal.

I went back down into the ship, and the hole I made instantly closed, as if it was healing itself. Selene's face was pale. She was freaked out. Spike looked mildly annoyed.

"Go to the back of the ship," said the ship in my head. I stepped on to a glowing lavender circle, that looked like it was glowing through the deck. I changed into my energy form. The ship's energy started moving all around me, like an energy shower. I saw my nervous system in my energy body. For some reason, I was a lavender color, though previously I was always green. Lightning came down, and flowed through me. I saw a little green worm in the back of my skull.

"What is that? Can't you get rid of it?" I asked the ship.
"No, only you can. That is your rage. Do not fear it, and it will weaken and disappear in time," said the ship to me in my head.
I morphed back into my nomad self. I knew at that point that I was okay.

I summoned a cannabis plant. "What's that for?" said Raven.
"Good medicine!" I smiled. "I'll just keep that for later use." (Gauntlet reference.) She laughed and shook her head.
"Ah!" I sighed. "Now, I am better! So where shall we go? Let's visit the alien greys! No, let's have a space adventure! No, no. Let's find other dream warriors like us. I think it's important."
"You're right," said Raven seriously. Selene smiled, and Spike smirked as I sat back down in the pilot's seat.
"Here we go!" I said. I focused on finding other dream warriors, and kicked my ship into warp drive.
