Raspberry's Second Life

September 26th 2010

Quick note: Sorry for not posting my dreams for the past few days, I got busy.

Awake Non-Lucid Semi-Lucid

I'm sitting in my chemistry classroom, but I'm not learning anything. It's like I'm waiting for something... I hear my classmates talking about unimportant stuff behind me. I keep waiting.

Soon enough, a man walks into the room. He looks travel-worn, and slightly damp. He murmers something to the classteacher and then looks around. "I'll take that one." He says, pointing to me. She nods and I get up, and follow him out the door without any objections.

[Dream skip - Unknown] I now know that his name is Mason, and he's taken me to what seems like a different world. This place is like nothing I've ever seen before. The turqious walls are made of smooth stone, but they're still jagged, with little ridges across them. Water flows down them, soaks the floor and makes my feet damp. There are several deep pools of water near me.

We're both leading horses. Mine is a gorgeous chestnut. There's something different about them, but I don't know what yet. We're here to take samples of this newly found water land.

I hear a hissing sound behind us. We turn and find three mermaids, which don't look friendly. They manage to stand on their tails, which makes them tall and frightening. Their hair is like Medusa, full of snakes. They have wide, gaping mouths, lined with several rows of needle-sharp teeth. They're hissing and... Why are they reaching behind themselves? They pull out thin black bows. One of them is already dead, shot by Mason. But then one of them shoots with blinding speed and he goes down.

I leap onto the horse. It gallops and then dives into a nearby pool. It's dark and eerie, but I have no other options except getting an arrow in my chest. The horse is a waterhorse! It's so fast underwater. It knows I need to breathe though, so occasionally it dives from a pool and into another. Sometimes I think that there is no other opening, that I'm trapped and am going to drown. But I fear the mermaids more.

Suddenly Chestnut kicks out and down he sinks, but he's taken a mermaid with him. Shit, it's me or the mermaid and I have no weapons. She can swim fast too, I don't know where to go! I manage to find a surface and get out. I sprint for it. There's another pool, with a strong downwards current. I sigh with relief as I throw myself in. It drags me down, down, down at a crazy speed.

But then I realise the mermaid is above me. I didn't get pushed down fast enough for her to lose me. I manage to pull myself out of the dream.
