The New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight

Crazy Train
I am near the train tracks that are a couple miles from my house.  It is either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, I don't spend much time thinking about that.  I am waiting for the next train to come by.  I know trains come along about every hour and they come to a stop near this railroad crossing to allow other trains to pass on the adjacent track.  So I am waiting there for the next train to come along, I plan to hop on the train and see where it goes.  I am thinking then all I have to do is jump on a train going the other direction when I want to come back.

I haven't been there for very long when a train comes along.  It comes to a stop just past the railroad crossing, and proceeds to wait there for the other train to arrive and pass.  I walk along the side of this train, looking for a way to board.  I see an open box car and I head for that, it should work.  I see there is someone already in the car.  I am about to continue on my way when I realize I recognize the person.  It's MoSh!  Apparently MoSh has decided to travel into the USA using trains to get around for free.  I head towards the car and call out his name, he looks over at me.  The train is moving, though.  Why so soon?  It should have waited for another train to pass!  I chase after the car with MoSh on it, it is clear he is going to help me on board if I can just catch up enough… the train is accelerating way too fast, much faster than should be possible…  I am feeling quite disappointed and depressed as it pulls away and takes MoSh with it.

To Oblivion and Beyond!
I am inside a game of Oblivion, and I am looking to close an Oblivion gate.  I also want to collect a lot of bloodgrass from Oblivion since the primary effect of bloodgrass is the chameleon effect.  So I am wandering through the forests and fields looking for an Oblivion gate.  I finally spot what I am looking for.  It is at the bottom of a hill I am on.  I hurry down the hill, jumping to move faster.  I jump farther than I intend and I fall quite some distance to the ground below.  I am thinking I will get hurt, but I land with no problem at all.  I go through the gate into Oblivion.

Oblivion looks like I expect it to look, so I get straight to it.  I pick several pieces of bloodgrass and see a couple scamps.  I snipe one with my bow and arrow and finish the other off with my sword.  I continue along the way, collecting lots of bloodgrass.  I spot the tower that I know will house the sigil stone and I head for it.  I have enough bloodgrass for now, so it is time to close this gate.  I get into the tower and fight my way to the top.  I snipe a scamp from across the room in the first room of the tower.  I also spot a daedra that isn't paying any attention when I get near the top, I snipe him, too.  I love sniping these daedra that aren't paying attention… they're so stupid.  I get to the top of the tower and I grab the sigil stone to collapse the gate…

…and now I find myself in someplace really strange… somehow stranger than Oblivion.  The sky looks like a swirling black hole or maybe a galaxy spinning really fast, the ground is barren and dead.  How did I end up here?  This isn't normal for Cyrodiil… maybe I ended up on the Shivering Isles?  It doesn't even look right for that, though the sky looks about right…  I start wandering across the barren landscape to see if I can find out where I am.  I turn to look back and the collapsed gate is still immediately behind me even though I have been walking for several minutes.  How can that be?  And how am I supposed to get anywhere if I can walk forever and not move at all?

[Raven_Knight]

Last night was another night with absolutely no recall.  I have big plans for tonight, though.  Plans to meet up with Nomad and MoSh in a dream, hopefully at least two of us will remember so it can be a confirmed shared dream... and it is about time I had an epic lucid dream!  So that is not in question, I will have an epic dream tonight!

I've heard positive thinking helps... so I'm going to try it. 

[Raven_Knight]

Actually, last night was one of the most frustrating nights there is.  The kind of night where I am absolutely certain I dreamed, but every time I tried to grab hold of a thread of memory it just slipped further away.  I feel like the donkey that is following the carrot on a stick.  I know the memory is there, I just can't quite reach it!

Note:  Last night was a bit odd… I remember a lot of fragments of dreams that I'm not sure if they are connected or not, but here they are…

When It Rains
I am in a strange place, it is out in the middle of the wilderness.  I don't recognize the place, though I might not since it is hard to see the surroundings through the pouring rain.  It is also rather cold out, and I feel the wet rain penetrating through my clothes to my skin, I am feeling quite cold.  I look around and I see a small tent not far from me and I realize I am supposed to sleep in there, so I go to the tent to try to dry off in it.  I get in the tent and I realize it is no better than being outside.  The tent is small and cramped, it doesn't seem to do anything to keep the cold out, and the worst part is the thing leaks so it is raining almost as badly inside as outside.  I decide I won't be able to sleep here, so I head out of the tent.  I will find an inn where I can rent a bed for a few gold.  Hopefully I have enough… if not, I might have to pick someone's pocket to get the money for a dry bed for the night.


To The Movies
I am with my friend Alicia, and we are heading out of Tucson, going south.  There is a movie theater down there and we are going to check and see if they will have a specific movie playing or not.  We are traveling in a helicopter, the pilot lands in a flat area near a road.  I see my car is there, so Alicia and I switch to the car and continue going.  The theater is sure out in the middle of nowhere.  When we finally get there we go to the box office and ask about the movie we're looking to see.  The man in the box office doesn't even wait to hear the title, he says he knows nothing about any movies past this coming Friday… which I know to be tomorrow.  He refuses to be of any help at all.  Alicia is annoyed that we came all the way out here for nothing.  I am also annoyed, but I add that at least we got a free helicopter ride out of it.  Alicia agrees reluctantly and adds that it was her first trip in a helicopter.


Nomad and MoSh
I am in a strange place with Nomad and MoSh, and there are a couple other people there with us as well.  I don't recognize them.  We are in what looks like a small space capsule with seats on both sides of the elongated capsule.  The room is about the shape of an elongated sphere, there is no way of telling which is the front or back or if it is even meant to move.  I am sitting between Nomad and MoSh.  The walls of the room are all padded with the same material that might be found in a padded room of a mental ward.  There is a bright white light, but I can't see where it is coming from.  Nomad seems excited about something, MoSh seems disinterested.  I don't remember what we are doing or where we might be going, but I do get the sensation of motion as the capsule shoots straight up into the air.  Nomad voices a loud and excited, "Here we go!" while MoSh just rolls his eyes and groans.  I do nothing, still not sure what is going on, but I don't want to appear stupid and admit that.


Blue Spirals of Madness
I am in the living room of our house, I am working on my laptop doing some 3D modeling.  The computer is working fine, so that doesn't trigger me to do a reality check.  I decide I want to listen to an audio book while I work, so I switch to iTunes to select one.  I select a Dean Koontz book to play and start the first track.  I go back to my modeling, expecting the book to start, but nothing happens.  I switch back to iTunes and I see that the video effects that I am used to seeing on Windows Media Player are playing but there is no sound.  I don't really give any thought to the fact that iTunes doesn't have the video effects screen…  The screen is showing blue circles expanding and contracting on the screen, it also seems to be stuck.  It isn't changing.  Damn, I hope I don't have a virus…  I change the screen to go to the internet and the monitor goes dark.  Shit!  It is a virus!  I immediately pull the plug on my external hard drives, fearing the data I may have already lost.  The blue circles return to the screen, now they are in 3D somehow.  They seem to be coming out of the monitor at me.  Then I realize they actually are coming out of the monitor…  The spirals surround me as I sit in front of my laptop, they are making me a bit dizzy.  It feels like I am falling into the computer… falling into the monitor… but instead I fall into bed and wake up.


Stealing Spree
I am in a place I don't recognize, it is an office building of some kind.  I remember I am there for an interview.  I go to the receptionist and say I am there for my interview.  She says she will let the boss know, so I sit down to wait.  I ask the receptionist where the restroom is, and she directs me to a door.  I go through the door and see it is not a restroom… it's a storage closet.  I tell her that and she says it's ok, everyone does their business in there… um… yuck…  I go into the room and sure enough it smells like a sewer.  I look at the stuff being stored in there.  There are many different things tossed into baskets with no organization at all.  I look at some of them.  There are many computer items there.  Small cameras, jump drives, some things I can't identify but they look cool… so I start taking stuff.  There is no organization, no way of telling how many of what is in there.  I grab a couple jump drives, a couple miniature cameras, and a couple things I can't identify before the receptionist opens the door without knocking and says the boss is ready.  I go to the boss' office and see a man sitting across the desk.  He looks at me strangely and then announces I stink.  Did I use the bathroom before coming here?  Yuck!  Go home, I won't be working here when I pee in a closet.  I leave his office, a bit annoyed, but also excited to see what those computer components I stole are…

Game Analysis 101
I am in school, it seems to be a game design class.  Everyone is talking about some video games and comparing them.  I am paying some attention, but I feel quite tired and I also feel like falling asleep.  My eyelids are heavy and I close them just enough to rest them.  I drift to sleep, and then I get poked by the person next to me.  I look and I see that my ex-boyfriend is in the class with me, and he has poked me to wake me up.  I stay awake long enough to hear everyone is now discussing Oblivion, and how it compares to Fallout 3.  The subject of Skyrim comes up as the instructor asks if anyone has played that and how it compares.  James says all of them blow ass.  I comment he wouldn’t know a good game if it bit him.  He gives me a strange look, maybe says something, but I am again drifting off to sleep.  My eyes close and then I wake up.

Cats!
I am in a place I don’t recognize, it is a house, and it is a big one.  I have no thought that I’m not supposed to be there, I am just wandering around and exploring.  I enter a bedroom and see an adorable tabby cat on the bed.  How cute!  I turn to leave the bedroom and I almost trip over a tortie cat right behind me.  Wow… where did you come from?  I pat the kitty and head down the hall towards the bathroom.  In the bathroom I find there is no human toilet, but there are four cat pans lined against the far wall.  Am I supposed to use the cat pan?  Even if I wanted to, they are all occupied.  There is a cat doing business in each one and also three more cats patiently waiting in line.  Wow… 7 more cats!  I pat the last one in line and head out to find a human bathroom.  I don’t find another bathroom, but I find my way back to the living room.  I go to sit on the couch but I am warded off by a hiss.  I almost sat on a cat!  I look and see there are seven cats crowded onto the seat of the couch, all lying around each other.  There are three more cats on the back of the couch and a cat on each arm.  12 more cats!  I mentally count cats and realize I have found 21 cats so far.  I turn from the couch and almost fall on my face as I realize I am about to step on a cat’s tail and I move awkwardly to avoid doing that.  22 cats… I wake up with a single cat purring beside me.

Note:  I haven't posted dreams for quite a few days due to the fact I have been sick.  I started out last Thursday by tossing my cookies and I haven't felt good since.  So some of these dreams are fragments from when I was sick which means they might make even less sense than they often do… which is saying something!  It seems that when I am sick to my stomach I start dreaming about food… which makes things worse!  >.<  I hope to get back to posting dreams regularly now.

02/02/12: Food Poison
I am in a game of Oblivion, looking around for stuff to steal, specifically I am looking for food and potion ingredients to steal since once I make a potion out of them they will no longer be flagged as stolen.  So I steal a bunch of ingredients, make a bunch of potions, and sell them.  In Cyrodiil, crime DOES pay!  So I pick up some ingredients from a house I just broke into, I decide to eat a couple of them since that will also boost my alchemy experience level… I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that one…  I eat some bread, cheese, and lettuce.  I steal more food and leave.  I eat a sweet cake for dessert and wash it down with an ale.  I am heading for another place to get more ingredients when I start feeling yucky.  Sick, like I might puke.  This feeling wakes me up, but I am able to ignore it and I fall back asleep right away.

Back in Cyrodiil, I am still stealing food, and I am still feeling sick.  I wonder if somehow the stolen food is tainted.  I wonder if the fact the food is flagged as stolen makes it tainted somehow… eating stolen food will make me sick while eating the same food not stolen won't make me sick.  That idea seems absurd, but to counter the sick feeling I go into a shop and buy some food and eat it.  That only makes me feel worse… and I wake up again… this time I get up and toss my cookies.

02/03/12: My Ex-Boyfriend Wants to Eat WHAT???
I am playing Oblivion on my laptop computer, and I realize my ex boyfriend is in the room with me.  He is watching me play Oblivion, and I am collecting ingredients for potions.  I collect a piece of mudcrab meat from a dead mudcrab.  James says that looks like it would taste good with chocolate syrup.  Yuck… I collect some more ingredients and James now says he wants to eat venison with chocolate syrup.  Yuck again.  I tell him that sounds gross.  He says not if you put it in a blender and mix it up with some eggplant and the crab meat and maybe a bit of split pea soup… he is starting to gross me out.  Just listening to him makes me feel nauseous.  He says if I throw up he wants to keep it… nothing mixes ingredients together better than a human stomach.  Now I think I am definitely going to puke… I wake feeling ill, but fortunately I don't toss my cookies this time.


02/04/12: Keep Eating, Pig!
I am sitting at a dinner table that is piled high with everything yummy I can think of, so many sweets I can't count it all.  All of it is stuff I really shouldn't eat on my diet.  Chocolate cake, ice cream, pies, more cakes, candy… so much of it!  I think I want to cheat on my diet a bit, so I eat a cupcake.  There is a voice speaking to me that I can't locate the source of.  The voice tells me to eat all I want, these sweets are calorie free!  Yay!  So I eat a piece of chocolate cake and a piece of lemon meringue pie.  I am now quite pleasantly full.  I get up to leave the table, but some force pushes me back in the chair and says I'm not done yet.  Eat everything!  Um… that is way too much for me to eat at one time.  I tell the voice that.  It keeps saying to eat.  I finally eat a bit more, but that makes me feel sick.  I say if I eat more I'll puke.  The voice says good, go ahead and puke!  I wake up feeling sick, but I don't toss my cookies.


02/05/12: No Dreams
Note: Today was one of the first days my stomach was feeling better, so I was able to sleep through the whole night… it must have been a deep sleep, as I didn't remember having a single dream.

02/06/12: Weave Spell
I am in a concert hall, and I am wandering through the place just exploring.  I see there is a band I don't recognize playing there, but I do recognize the lead singer.  It is Bret Michaels from the band Poison.  I am surprised to see him there when I don't recognize the group.  I discover, and this doesn't seem odd to me, that I can step sideways and move through dimensions, just slide from one to the next.  I do that and the band changes.  Bret Michaels seems to slide, too.  He appears and keeps singing.  Is he also a traveler?  I side step through several more worlds, and he follows.  I go outside of the concert hall and I find there are trees around, and it is night.  I don't see Bret Michaels now.  I hear someone approaching.  Just a bit too late I get the feeling I don't want to be seen.  An old man and an old woman emerge from the trees with a shotgun.  The man points the shotgun at me.  I grab it by the barrels… it's a double barrel… and I bend the gun like it's made of paper.  I hear some strange chants coming from the trees, from all around.  "Weave spell, inerevum sancotatum, weave spell," it says over and over.  The gun is changing forms in my hand, responding to that chant.  It is trying to reform around my hand and aim at me again.  I block that effect, but I seem to be in a contest of wills with the unseen spell caster.  I am still doing that when Bret Michaels comes out of the concert building and plays guitar for a bit… which causes the elderly couple to retreat into the trees.


02/07/12: Unconscious Theft
I am at school, though it isn't one of the classes I am taking in waking life.  I am taking notes in a notebook, writing down as fast as I can to keep up with the instructor.  When the class ends I get up to go get something to eat.  I head down to the cafeteria and buy a burger, fries, and a drink.  I am sitting at the table eating when someone from my class comes over and is pissed off.  I wonder why.  I then see that I have their backpack and purse sitting beside me.  I don't even remember picking that stuff up… when did I do that?  She wants to know why I have her stuff, which is a logical thing to wonder.  I am thinking that if I tell her I have no clue, and I don't remember picking it up, that will sound like a lie… so I tell a lie.  I say she left it behind, and I was holding on to it for her so no one else would steal it.  I add that if I hadn't run into her again I would have taken it to lost and found.  She doesn't seem to believe me.  She says she left it in the classroom because we have another class there later today, I know that!  Now give the stuff back!  She takes the stuff and leaves in a huff.  I realize I do have to go to the class again today, but I don't really want to go to class with that person who clearly thinks I stole her stuff intending to keep it.  And the fact is I have no idea why I stole her stuff, I don't even remember doing it.  So I am considering ditching today.

02/16/12

Note:  I have not posted any dreams for quite a while… and that is because I haven't had any recall at all for quite a while.  It has been getting very frustrating, and I really hope my recall improves soon.  Combined with not having any recall, I have also been busy with homework from school and a new job.  That's why my resolution to post something every day has gotten pushed aside.  Well, I have finally been able to recall a dream.  It's not much, but right now I am willing to take anything I can get!

Tunnels of Madness
I am in what appears to be an underground tunnel of some kind.  The tunnel is perfectly circular and is made out of a metallic substance.  There is a band of light going down the tunnel, four of them.  One of the lights is directly overhead, I am standing on a second, and there are lights to the right and left of me.  The tunnel looks very strange, and I can't remember how I got to be here.  Somehow this doesn't trigger a reality check, though.  I walk down the tunnel, which seems to go on forever.  Sometimes it curves to the left or right, and it does so often enough that I become really disoriented.  I am wondering if the tunnel is ever going to end.  The quality of the lighting changes… it is now flashing, now it looks like little balls of light are zooming down the sides of the tunnel.  That is even more disorienting, they are going in such a pattern that makes it seem like the tunnel is spinning.  That makes me feel like I might vomit.  Instead, however, I wake up.

Vampire Hunt
I am out in the city at night, wandering the streets with no particular destination in mind.  I am dressed like a total slut, but I am not looking for sex.  I am a vampire, and I am looking for prey.  I don't really want to feed on the innocent, so I have decided to wander around at night in a bad area of town and wait for some asshole to try to have his way with me.  I wander around for a while and finally I meet up with a candidate.  A thug comes out of the shadows and asks how much.  I figure he thinks I'm a hooker and I tell him I'm not for sale.  He laughs and says I had better be for sale or I wouldn't be dressed like a whore.  I tell him to get lost.  He says if he can't buy what he wants, he'll just take it.  I tell him he doesn't have what it takes.  He grabs my shoulders and pushes me up against a wall rather hard.  He is right in front of me, his breath smells of alcohol and stale cigarette smoke.  He forces a kiss on me.  He says if I just relax and take it I'll live through this.  I turn us around and pin him against the wall, he seems intrigued at the idea I like it rough.  I tell him I can't make the same promise that he'll live through this.  As a vampire, I feed on the would-be rapist.  The blood tastes like warm tomato soup?  I don't notice that in the dream.  As I am finishing, someone sees me and calls out for the authorities.  There are cops coming, so I take off and head through the dark streets.  I can hear them behind me, I go into a sewer entrance underneath a road.  I head into the darkness, taking one last look behind me to make sure no one saw where I just went.  There's no way they'll ever find me down here.

Countdown
I am in a space ship of some kind, and I am holding a very small explosive device.  In spite of its small size, I know it will pack a lot of power if it is allowed to explode.  I am trying to disarm the bomb, which is quite difficult considering the size and the fact that one wrong move will make it explode.  I am moving a tiny wire carefully through a conduit when I accidently touch the wire to the side of the conduit… and BOO… no… I immediately load a "save game" from before the bomb exploded.  Basically I go back in time a few minutes to try again.  This time I am successful and I disarm the bomb.  I hear someone laughing on the communications screen.  There is a man there saying it did me no good, he has another bomb.  He holds it up to show me, and it is an identical bomb to the one I just disarmed.  He is being quite careless with it.  He is shaking it in my face when it goes off.  The screen goes blank, and I know the idiot just blasted himself into subatomic particles.

Fight Night
I am in an underground are where I am investigating a ring of illegal extreme fighters.  They are known for getting fighters off the street and having them fight to the death.  Some of the fighters are there of their own free will, others are coerced and forced into it.  I am watching a fight, and one of the two combatants punches the other one in the face.  The punch is so hard that I can both see and hear that the man's jaw isn't just broken, but shattered.  I get in the way before the attacker can finish the job by killing the injured man.  The man asks me what the fuck I think I'm doing, this is no place for a woman, get out of the way!  I tell him if I can kick his ass, he has to let the other man live.  He laughs at me and says if that happens, he'll give up fighting for good.  I don't think he really expects me to try it… but I do.  I fight the man, using the extra strength and martial arts skill I have in the dream state.  And I kick his ass solidly.  He and all the audience are stunned, clearly they had all set bets against me.  I go over and heal the man with the broken jaw, he says he just wants to get home to his family.  He leaves quickly.  The crowd is still staring at me, stunned, when I wake up.

Hawaii Five-O
I am on a beach in what seems to be Hawaii, or at least it looks like the setting of Hawaii 5-O.  Complete with Steve and Danny right there with me.  I am staring at Steve, who is Alex O'Loughlin, and he is sooooo hot!  I'm not sure what has happened to me, but it seems I am in need of having an IV hooked up to me.  Danny is the one doing that, and I notice that the needle hardly hurts at all when he puts it in.  I am then given the bag of stuff that has to be put into my body.  I don't know what it is, but the fluid is red.  It looks like red Kool-Aid.  I am not paying much attention to that, just holding it up as Danny has instructed me, and I am staring at Steve.  He is shirtless.  I wonder if I might be drooling.


Sephiroth
I won't go into detail about this one, but I wanted to make note of the fact I had one of the most intense and memorable sex dreams ever!  It was a hot and wild one with Sephiroth!


Midnight Storm
I am at the house I used to live in about 15 years ago, and I am sitting at my computer writing a program for a game.  I am looking at the code on the screen and trying to find the source of an error.  Outside, a thunderstorm is raging on.  The thunder is so loud it really sounds more like bombs falling outside the house.  It sounds so realistic that I finally get up from my seat and look out the back door, which has a nice view of the city below.  I half expect to see the city in flames with bombs falling and exploding.  Of course it is fine, and there are spectacular bolts of lightning flashing through the night.  I look at the time, it is almost 1:00 in the morning.  My mom will be home soon, though I don't remember where she has gone at this time of night.  But she will come home hungry.  I set to making some breakfast sandwiches.  The sandwiches consist of toast with a light layer of mayo, a fried egg, a couple strips of bacon, and a small pancake.  I make up two sandwiches for each of us.  My mom comes in just as I am finishing.  I go to cut one of the sandwiches in half with a knife but I discover it has already been cut.  Did my mom do that, or did I do it without really thinking about it?

04/10/12

Note:  It has been a long time since I have posted any dreams.  I have been sooooo depressed lately that all I have really wanted to do is crawl into a hole and fall asleep and never wake up.  I think it is lifting a bit, so I decided to go ahead and post these dreams.

Maze Hunter
I am in a suit of futuristic armor and in a futuristic looking underground facility.  The facility is laid out like a maze, and I am there to hunt some creatures, some violent creatures that have been killing randomly both in the facility and on the surface around the facility.  Killing indiscriminately.  They have to be stopped.  I am walking down a long hall with flickering lights giving it a rather creepy feel, like the facility hasn't been in use recently.  I hear movement up ahead, I look at a scanner on my wrist to confirm it is one of the enemies and not an ally.  I cautiously approach a turn in the passage where I know the enemy is just around the corner.  I manage to surprise the enemy by jumping around the corner and firing my weapon before he can react.  My weapon is a laser blaster that is about the size of a shotgun, and it emits a blast of fire that blasts the enemy apart.  I can see through the broken parts of the armor that the enemy is reptilian in nature, I am wondering if it is of a race I have encountered in the past called Reptizars.  I'm not sure, usually they don't need any armor beyond what is offered by their scales.  I hear something behind me and turn just in time to dive out of the way as another of the enemy fires at me.  I dive down a side passage, rolling over quickly onto my back and waiting for the enemy to appear.  I don't see anything… what is that thing up to?  I am sure he will come around the corner at any time, but before he does, I wake up.


To The Races
I am in my own car, the car I have in my waking life, which is a red Dodge Neon.  I am driving down a street quickly, intent on getting to a race track where I have been entered to race… in my Neon.  There is a special race going on at the race track where whoever feels like entering and has a non-modified street car can race for prizes.  I think I probably don't have much chance entering with a Neon, but someone else has entered me and I am not going to back out.  I figure there will probably be some other amateurs there with cars even worse for racing than my Neon.  Right now I am racing on the freeway just to get there before it is too late, before I miss the start of the race.


Mad Monkey Inn
I am in a hotel of some kind, I have a job there.  I am taking the key cards from people as they check out and leave the hotel to go on their way.  It seems many of the visitors are disgruntled, and cranky upon leaving.  Also I notice that several of them look like they have been bitten or scratched, like they have been attacked by a wild animal of some kind.  I look around and see an ad on the wall that says each visitor to the hotel gets their own monkey to sleep with for the night.  Not a stuffed monkey, a real live spider monkey.  I think that is really strange.  A man comes from the rooms area with a particularly cranky monkey.  The monkey is clearly trying to bite and scratch the man, I wonder what is going on there.  Have monkeys been injuring all the guests?  The man stops by me and says no one told him the monkeys wake up so cranky in the morning.  He says he should sue this dump.  He hands over his key, then shoves the cranky monkey into my hands as well.  He leave in a huff, but I pay very little attention to him since I am now trying to keep the monkey from biting me in the face.  I am holding the monkey at arm length and I am not sure what to do with him now.  After all, I haven't even been trained to handle the monkeys!


Hawaii 5-O
I am with Steve McGarrett from Hawaii 5-O.  We are trying to gather evidence against a cop we both know is dirty, but so far we have been unable to prove it.  Alicia is there with us, and I go with Alicia to check in one direction.  Alicia spots a couple of gang bangers and proceeds to flip them the bird.  I wonder why she did that.  They get pissed and come after us.  Alicia disappears quickly, and I hide myself behind some dumpsters in an alley.  I meet up with Steve just as the gang bangers catch up with me.  Steve kicks one of their asses, I fight and manage to beat the other one into submission.  The dirty cop is there, too, presumably there to get a payoff or something.  But there is still no evidence.  Steve takes the cop's gun and shoots each of the gang bangers, killing them.  He hands the gun back to the dirty cop, who is standing there looking stunned.  Steve says we had better leave, the rest of the gang will be coming.  Steve beats on the cop for a bit and then we disappear.  Steve says when the rest of the gang finds the cop over their dead friends, they won't hesitate to tear the cop into so many pieces that we'll never find all of them.


Darkness Below
I am at the public library and I realize I have to go to the bathroom, so I look around to see if there is anyone around that looks like they might steal my computer while I'm away.  I see no issues so I head into the bathroom.  There is no one in there so I choose an empty stall to do my business in.  I sit down and do my business, and I am about ready to get up when I hear a strange noise outside the stall.  It doesn't sound like a person, it sounds more like an oozing mass of something crossing the floor… and the smell of raw sewage reaches my nose.  Yuck!  One of the other toilets must be backing up.  Gross!  I look at the floor to see if I can see any sewage coming from the other stalls… but what I see is that the ground is suddenly all cracked and covered in mold.  Yuck!  How could I not have noticed when I entered that the bathroom was this disgusting?  Black ooze is coming up from the cracks.  It seems to be alive.  I step out of the stall, there is something really gross happening.  The mirrors are all broken in the bathroom, and there is black ooze also coming from cracks in the wall.  I head over to the door, which is also covered with black sludge.  A humanoid form is stepping from the sludge, human in shape, with a huge gaping and dripping mouth that is emitting a long groan like a zombie.  The thing reaches for me, and reflexively I use the spell Damage, Inc. to throw a fireball at the thing.  The spell works, and the thing bursts into flame as if it was made out of oil and is very flammable.  The room is quickly engulfed in flames, completely surrounding me, but then I wake.

Wow, this is the first time I've visited your DJ ( Hi by the way) and I loved reading these dreams! I really like your journalling style with the pictures and the dreams are very exciting (I suspect they are highlights). Tempted to go back and read from the start now

Movies at Home
I am in my own house, it is pretty late at night.  There are no lights on, but there's light being emitted by the large screen television in the living room.  I go into the room and look at the TV.  It seems bigger than I remembered it being… I see there are quite a few people sitting around the TV, all the seats on the couch are filled, both chairs, and there are a few people sitting on the floor.  I see my friend Alicia sitting to the left of the TV, and she is making out with some guy I don't know.  I don't want to interrupt.  I see another friend Tigress off to the right side of the TV, but she is making out with Silver Wolf.  I don't want to interrupt them, either.  There is a guy sitting almost directly in front of the TV by himself, just watching the movie.  I go over and sit down beside him.  I look at the movie and I see it is something I don't recognize.  I also have the idea it is something I have no interest in.  I look over at the guy to my left.  I see that he has long silvery hair that seems to shine in even the minimal light of the room.  He must have sensed me watching him because he looks over at me.  It's Sephiroth!  I sit there and stare at Sephiroth for a bit, drawing a strange look from him.  I am about to say something to him to explain my rudeness, but before I can he surprises me by pulling me over to him and kissing me full on the lips!  I ignore the movie and make out with Sephiroth.


Locked Away
I am in a prison cell of some kind.  I have no idea how I got to be there, all I can think of is how my mother is going to react when she finds out I got myself arrested.  I have the idea I haven't even gotten to make my one phone call or talk to my lawyer… what is going on here?  I try to think of what I might have done to end up in prison.  Someone across the hall is yelling rather rude things at me, I choose to ignore him.  He is just another prisoner, and probably has no more idea why I am here than I do.  Even if he does, he is clearly too rude to help me out.  I hear him saying something about magic… about me doing magic to get out of here?  Why not?  I think for a bit and finally a Harry Potter spell comes to mind… Alohamora.  I use that spell on the locked door and I hear a click as the lock disengages.  I am about to leave when I hear someone coming.  The guy across the hall seems to think the guards are coming to execute me, though I seriously don't think I am in here for anything that serious.  I probably got caught stealing something.  Unless, of course, I broke in somewhere to steal something and there was a murder that just happened to have taken place at that same scene which I was also being accused of…  The guards arrive and someone is complaining that there is a prisoner in this cell, so I step back.  Apparently they weren't coming for me after all.  So after they're gone, I'll leave.  There is a strange old man there who seems to know me, he claims to be the emperor.  Emperor?  What does he think this is, a game of Oblivion?  It turns out that is exactly what he thinks.  He says he is Uriel Septim.  Um… am I in a game of Oblivion?  Cool!  I guess I didn't get arrested at all, I just entered a virtual reality so realistic that I forgot it was a game!  Harry Potter spells work in Oblivion?  I figure it must be a mod.  The emperor and the guards leave through the secret exit and I follow them, thinking Oblivion is going to be awesome in virtual reality, but then I wake.

I am in what looks like a huge and luxurious mansion.  It is a bit in disrepair, but still looks like it is overall good condition.  Just a bit dirty and dusty.  The walls are lined with shelves that display collections of various objects.  I don't remember a lot of the items on the shelves, just that they struck me as interesting at the time.  The items I do remember are collectible toys that are still mint in package, I think to myself that my ex boyfriend James would have loved to take a look around this place.  I have the idea I am looking for a very special item, a treasure of some kind.  I don't have a clear image of the treasure I am looking for, but I am confident I will know the treasure when I see it.

I meet someone in the house also looking for the same treasure, and I realize I have been seeking the treasure with MoSh helping me.  He says he hasn't yet found the treasure.  I see something moving out of the corner of my eye.  Is it another person helping us?  No, it is most certainly a zombie.  This old mansion is a perfect place for zombies to be roaming.  I lead MoSh to the next room without alarming him about zombies.



This room is filled with old books on more old shelves.  It is pretty cool, actually.  I would like to look through some of the old books, but I am certain there are still zombies stalking us.  MoSh suggests the treasure might be buried in the back yard.  I tell him we can go check, glad for a reason to get out of the house full of zombies.  We leave the library just as I see movement of something entering the room behind us.

MoSh and I pass through a kitchen and into what I am assuming is the back yard.  He has suggested we dig, but I have no shovel.  And in addition to that, the back yard is huge.  There are many trees, and it is dark outside.  I wonder how we are supposed to find anything in all that.  I think maybe we should find a shovel first.  I see a tool shed not far away, so we both head that way.  MoSh is looking around nervously.  I also feel like we are being stalked.  Are there more zombies out here?  Of course there are!  They wouldn't stay in the house, they would follow us outside to catch us.  I look around for any sign of the zombies I can feel watching us.  And since MoSh also seems to notice something, I know for a fact it's not just my imagination.



MoSh and I are heading towards the tool shed when I hear something behind us, between us and the house.  We've been cut off from shelter.  I hear more things off to the side.  Am I being paranoid, or are they real?  I look to MoSh for some kind of confirmation, but he says nothing.  I'm not sure if he even is aware of my presence any more, he is looking around a lot as if he also knows we are being followed.  I tell him we need to defend ourselves.  I don't get any response.  Has MoSh become a zombie?  I don't know what I'll do if he has become a zombie… but I don't need to figure that out since I wake.

I am at my friend Alicia's house, and we are watching a movie.  It is one of the Harry Potter movies, but I don't recognize which one.  The setting is in some kind of swamp, and I don't recognize the place at all.  The situation is that Harry, Ron, and Hermione have found and destroyed all the horcruxes except for the one in Nagini.  So in the movie we are watching Harry, Ron, and Hermione sludge through a swamp in search of Nagini, who has a horcrux inside.  I decide to take a break and get a snack, so we pause the movie and I go into the kitchen for a snack.  I find there are some chocolate cupcakes out there, and I help myself to one.  I step out the back door to enjoy the warm weather, but everything around me changes.  I find I am now in the swamp out of the Harry Potter movie.

I turn around and see there is no sign of Alicia's house, so I start looking around the swamp.  I realize I have a wand, and now I must be in the Harry Potter movie somehow.  I decide to see if I can find any of the people from the movie, maybe kick Voldermort's ass.  As I am making my way through the dark swamp I see something moving.  It's a big snake!  I use a stun spell on the snake, figuring there's no need to go off killing the wildlife.  The snake is stunned, so I continue searching.  I hear voices up ahead, so I follow the sound.  I find what I was looking for.  Voldemort and Wormtail are talking quietly to each other.

Apparently I made too much noise.  Voldermort turns towards me and attacks me, using a death curse.  I deflect that with a Whiplash spell, which clearly surprises him.  He does some kind of spell that appears to use Wormtail as a sacrafice in order to give himself more power.  I see him absorb the life energy out of Wormtail, who is knocked backwards by the force of the spell.  His wand goes flying, and I grab that telekinetically.  So now I have two wands!  Voldemort casts another death spell at me at the same time as I use both wands to cast Battery, sending lightning bolts from both of them.  The three beams meet in the middle with a bright flash of sparks and fire.  I get the idea that the two blasts of lightning might be more powerful combined, so I cross the streams… I can't help but think of Ghostbusters when I do that… and the two beams of lightning intertwine to form one.  The wands become hard to hold steady, vibrating with a life of their own, but I manage to hold it stable.  The combined lightning bolts overpower Voldemort's spell, forcing the entire ball of fire and lightning back to Voldemort where there is a large explosion, and Voldemort is incinerated.  Right then there is a flash of white light and then I am back in Alicia's back yard.  I go back into the house to see if Alicia is still there, and it turns out she has continued watching the movie without me.  She says that ending never gets old… Voldemort go boom!
